I am about to trade my sailboat for a 1985 35' CHB Trawler. She has twin Yanmars and will initially be sailed in a large lake in Texas while I get her ready for Florida and/or the Loop. I need some experienced input. I am experienced in boating but primarily with sailboats with small inboard diesels.
Questions:
1. What do I need to be cautious of in a CHB? What are their issues?
2. Not to start the twins vs single discussion, but I had been leaning toward a single, but the economics of this situation are making me rethink my single position. Right now, the twins are the only negative on the boat. (of course have not had the survey yet) Any input on twins and the issues I will be dealing with.
3. What about Yanmar? Good, bad, ugly?????????
4. Are there any major deal breakers I should be looking for?
Would really appreciate any input from CHB 35 owners...as well as all of you experienced captains.
Thanks in advance for your input.
Thanks
James
