RE: 34' CHB with twin Lehmans

I don't know the 34. I looked at a 45 that is located in Peoria, Ill. I think it is still on the market. It had two forward cabins and two heads that were side by side with a mini tub and shower that could be used by either one. While it needed work, it would make a good live aboard. I think Midwest Trawler has the boat.

As far as the 34 goes , which Lehmans does the CHB have? What maintenance has been performed on them since 1977. Early trawlers from China had window leak problems and sometimes wood was not correctly covered in fiberglass and was prone to rot. If you are serious of the boat, find a good marine surveyor that knows these boats and have them do a in depth survey. If you supply more information about use and goals, the members of the forum might have better feedback.

Good luck...CHB made nice looking boats. Any boat that is 34 years old need investigation on care and condition.
