Even with the incredible 400-mile cruising range Diesel, the price still falls comfortably within reach of most 32' shoppers.

Then there's the sleek 25' 2 or 4-sleeper in Shelter and Flybridge models, with optional galley/dinette, starting at $5,795—perfect for a boatsman's first fiberglass adventure.

Note from GG Archives: Historical price comparisons are approximate. A 1975 price converted to 2025 dollars reflects relative purchasing power, not the actual modern market price of a comparable item. Modern prices may differ because the product, market, quality, scarcity, and production method have changed.
