1978 Chien Hwa 34 Double Cabin Power Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com

The listing on this boat looks pretty much like all the Marine Traders that are out there, with a maybe a few differences in the salon layout, which could be the result of owner mods over the years.

There is a lot of information, plus and minus, here on TForum and elsewhere on the net.

Here's a link for starters
BoatUS - Boat Reviews - Marine Trader 34 Double Cabin



I've owned a Marine Trader for about 7 years, and have been thru a lot of the issues common to these boats. A few TF searches on Marine Traders and CHB's will give you a lot of info on things to look for.
Yep that is the boat. Thanks for the link - nice overall info. It sounds like the taiwan trawlers are pretty much like buying a chevy/pontiac/buick. Personal preference and features will determine which model an individual likes (or not).
