COMMENTS: SLOW POKE is a 1987 Grand Banks 46 Classic Trawler with twin Cat 3208TA diesels, making her faster than the "slow poke" Ford Lehman's. She cruises easily at 11-12 knots at 2300 RPM. She is equipped with generator, 3 zone air conditioning, clothes dryer, older electronics and a semi-customized aft cabin which was designed to be more spacious than the standard layout. One of the most impressive features is her fiberglass decks, and S/S railings eliminating the maintenance of exterior teak trim. She has only had two owners since she was built, both being knowledgeable and caring owners. SLOW POKE will be stored inside in a heated shed for the winter. Please come and inspect her. Thank you for your interest.
