hey every one at the moment i am currently considering getting a 1975 34' chb tri-cabin trawler. I was hopeing to get some opinions of these boats. its got a single 120hp ford lehmons diesel motor in it with 2500 hrs. I read somwhere top speed is about 9 knots is this acurate.

welcome aboard. You may see 9 kns. with the 120 fl but she'll be much happier around 7 and drink about 2/3's less fuel.
 
thanks im not too woried about going fast just a litle concerned about the crrent around where she'd be docked, as it can reach 12 knots. i guess it may be time to review the tides tables. also are these loud while your cruising?
 
Yep. They rattle away pretty resoundingly. Where are you docked that you see a 12kt current?

You certainly wouldn't want to buck that in a CHB with a FL120. :)

One mans rattle is another mans music......:)
Where is your moorage in Vancouver with a 12+ knot current, the only place I know around here with a 12 knot plus current is Skookumchuck Rapids and I would not be trying to tie up there........:confused:
