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.

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.

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.
