During Winter 2009, a significant maintenance upgrade was performed by NC Machinery.. Work included replacing the raw water systems (new sea strainers, raw water pumps, custom made heat exchangers mounted off of the engines), new engine mounts, new exhaust systems and rebuilt injector pumps. The engines operate with no apparent problems, run great and should survey well.

Grand Banks built yachts are known for their outstanding construction and long service lives.
Construction:
4” by 1-1 1⁄4” Mahogany Planking, Carvel Construction / Transom quilted.
1 1/2” x 4 1⁄2” yakal framing – 3⁄4 Lengths on 13–13 1⁄2 Centers, Original Sistered & Bolted.
Decking 3⁄4” x 1 3⁄4 Teak Planking over plywood 2” x 3” on 13 1⁄2” Centers.
As noted by the surveyor: "The vessel hull appears to be in good structural condition, with less than expected wear and tear expected. At that time the surveyor noted that this boat is in Above Average Condition. During the 2018 Lift Out at Jensen Motorboat Company. Four fasteners were drawn from typical areas and all were found to be in serviceable condition." Currently it is in need of exterior refinishing.
This is the only Alaskan 55 that was factory built with a full enclosure for the aft cockpit area. The space features opening glass windows for ventilation and provides a true expansion of the available interior living space.
The water tanks are of aluminum.
Length overall for moorage purposes is 60 feet.
Waterline Boats / Boatshed does not independently verify capacities and measures, which are reported from seller-provided information and/or literature.

Three staterooms: master stateroom, second stateroom with two single bunks across from master, and a forward stateroom with double bunk plus a single bunk.
Two heads featuring a complete new vacuum flush system including a new 60 gallon holding tank, all new piping and hoses. The master head features a tub and a shower with professionally installed glass enclosure, including locking, swing open/closed door. Bow head removed, ready to chose type and install for full functionality of entire bow head. One (overboard) pump professionally plumbed to a large brass valve thru-hole bottom of hull. Note: The wastewater system is based on two separate Vacuflush systems emptying into one 60 gallon holding tank.
Survey remarks for Marine Sanitation System: "Old discharges removed. The entire Marine Sanitation System is NEW consisting of two vacuum accumulator systems in a very workable installation arrangement beneath the port forward berth in the forward stateroom. There is all new hosing in all associated systems."
The forward cabin features space for a separate clothes washer and dryer, currently now having a single bunk, or the space can be used for storage etc.
The bright pilot house features excellent visibility and includes a table and seating for four as well as a watch berth. The settee in this space is very large and would provide additional berthing.
Galley : U-shaped galley with Corian counters and an extra-large Kohler sink. Princess 3-burner stove oven. Galley features a new Sanyo microwave and new SAMSUNG RF217ACRS fridge.
Heating System: the heating system was replaced in Fall 2009 and features a mix of passive radiators and fan units:
- One (1) found in engine room, and several found throughout boat supplied by a 80,000 BTU Webasto boiler.
- Two (2) Ecostyle - 9,137 BTU - Hydronic Panel Radiators - 24"H x 56"W found in main salon.
- One (1) Ecostyle 4,551 BTU Hydronic Panel Radiator 24"H x 24"W, Found in lower forward large bunk room
- One (1) Ecostyle heated towel rack found in main head
Note: The massive passive radiators retain heat well, reducing rapid-cycling and creating a home-like warmth. The heating system was enhanced to provide comfortable heating year-round in a live-aboard situation (even including a heated towel rack located in main head!).
Survey remarks for the heating system: "The heater is manifolded to all areas & can be used to preheat engines: a newer and very nice installation."
There is a tiled alcove and chimney in the salon.

Anchor notes:
Vessel has a spare Bruce-style anchor and swivel plus two spare props. Mantus anchor system features a large bridle. Chain grabber is a Mantus "Large Pendant".
Windlass notes:
Windlass was removed 7 years ago and fully rebuilt by RC Plath Company in Oregon. A new AC motor was installed with increased power, all casing threads were retapped and new screws were installed to complete the rebuild.
Additional details:
Several breaker bars are mounted next to the windless to aid in safety for anchoring including tightening/loosening/breakout and for keeping hands away from moving chain.
On each side of the windless found in rubber snap in holders are 12 foot boat poles to aid in guiding the anchor as it rolls onto the anchor board. A total of four 12 foot boat poles are aboard: two found on bow, and one each mounted vertically next to the pilot house doors port and starboard.
Remote transmission controls in cockpit for tight backing maneuvers are a real plus.
Full canvas cover for bow area plus canvas for side door (new in 2010).
New cutlass bearings spring 2010.
A kayak rack is located on pilot house roof.

Commentaires du Broker
When classic wooden Grand Banks Alaskan yachts come on the market today they reflect the incredible longevity of this line of vessels. They were designed for truly long range cruising and built of the best hardwoods that were available more than half a century ago. Although they were production boats built for general sale, the craftsmanship and quality materials sing out when you step onboard and echo further when you examine their construction in detail. Through these characteristics the Grand Banks Alaskan model has stood the test of time. Our Alaskan 55 is the largest of the classic line, and the most recent surveyor remarked "for her age and service, this vessel is in very fine condition and have benefitted from the investment and improvements of the seller."
The layout makes for an ideal liveaboard yacht which provides for a fine separation of interior spaces with excellent visibility throughout the salon and pilothouse. Covered walkways provide for dry access to the outside. And, our boat is the only one to have a full solid enclosure for the aft deck area factory installed when built. The space provides for an expansive living area to augment the rest of the gracious interior space. For cold weather expeditions (or winters in the Pacific Northwest) a massive 80,000 BTU Webasto diesel hydronic heating system provides for stem-to-stern warmth - and will even preheat the engines for smooth starts. The boat has been rewired and re-plumbed with new marine sanitation systems. Robust electrical systems include a Northern Lights 8 KW generator, an Outback 2800 Watt Inverter-Charger system with a Heart Link 2000 monitor interface, new battery banks, and powerful 100 to 150 watt alternators on the engines for underway charging.
With over 1,800 gallons of fuel and 1,000 gallons of water below decks this boat is a self-sufficient long distance passage-maker as well. The naturally-aspirated Caterpillar 3160 engines were refit in 2009 by rebuilding or replacing peripheral elements of the powerplant including the raw water pump system, custom-built heat exchangers, exhaust system, engine mounts, fuel injection pump, and other parts. Dual Racor fuel filters on a switching manifold are installed and there is a fuel polishing and transfer system aboard for enhanced reliability. New spare propellors, anchors, and many other essential parts are included.
In the pilothouse, a current Nobeltec TIMEZERO TZ Navigator software suite is aboard with charts for local, Canadian, and Alaskan waters. This is a true pilothouse with no flybridge aloft. Additional controls for the engine are installed on the aft deck for docking. Radar, AIS, and backup GPS and other systems are also aboard.
The boat is in covered moorage in a prime freshwater location in Seattle which is approved for liveaboard use and can be transferred to the next owner - a truly outstanding and rare opportunity.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
