All About Finding Solutions

Like many new boat owners, the buyer of this once-majestic 1974 Grand Banks 50 had to come up with a realistic game plan for bringing the boat back to it's former glory. Bought at a repossion sale, the boat had great bones but had been somewhat neglected for several years. Considerations for this particular owner were safety improvements first, maintenance of existing systems second and actual improvements third. All along, aesthetics were to be considered of paramount importance. Nothing was to be done that altered the essential nature of this 35-year old power boat. While the owner wanted the safety of improved electronics and the convenience of updated appliances, the vessel's lines and interior cabin arrangements were to remain true to the designer's original intent. Like many projects on land or sea, it came down to identifying issues and finding solutions. After careful consideration of priorities and extensive consulting with CSR Marine specialists, the owner formulated a gameplan and a budget. Follow us as we work with the owner to establish a framework for future work and then watch for day-by-day updates as the project tapes shape.
