1980 Grand Mariner 36

The Grand Mariner 36 has a great layout with two cabins, and two heads for maximum privacy in a smaller boat with a central salon/galley with large windows providing amazing views of your surroundings when underway or at anchor. There are custom curtains for all windows and ornate, hand-made, carvings accent the solid teak through the boat.

The forward cabin has two single berths, storage, and an en-suite head with a marine toilet, sink, and shower. 

The owner’s cabin in the stern had a queen bed, with new mattress, on the port side with plenty of drawer and locker storage. The spacious cabin has a sitting area with a desk on the starboard side and the ensuite head is large with a separate shower/sit tub. 

The salon has a large L-Shaped setee with an adjustable table on the port side. This can be used as a third sleeping berth if needed. The seating is at the perfect height for enjoying the views from the large windows. The galley is on the starboard side and has all the standard amenities. 

For comfort there are two sliding doors to access the main salon for a great cross breeze, as well, when it gets a bit colder the Espar forced air diesel heater warms the boat quickly and efficiently.

The heart of the Grand Mariner trawler is the Ford Lehman 6-cylinder, 120 HP diesel. They are well known for their longevity, durability, and simplicity. They simply work. Being naturally aspirated and running at relatively low RPM’s you simply need to keep the fluids clean, the cooling system function, and the fuel systems well filtered.
