Welcome aboard. I am not familiar with Present boats although we have a President...

Welcome aboard, Ken!

Welcome Ken. Nice to have someone who can share real life boat stories.

Good luck on your purchasing your boat. Got any pics?

I’m trying to figure out how to respond or reply I’m right near Highland Falls beautiful part of the Hudson river

We have a 1988 42' Present - built by CHB in Taiwan. Boats sold on the East Coast and Gulf Costs were mostly sold as Presents. On the West Coast and PNW they were sold as Ponderosa boats - same boats, just diff names.

"Chung Hwa Boat, CHB, was part of a three yard group owned by Y.F.Lee that was located in Kaohsiung, South Taiwan. They built mostly trawler style powerboats as well as a few sailboats for export to the US and Europe, for a number of different importers where they were sold under many different names.
It is thought that a yard of this same name still exists but located in mainland China."

Wow ok thanks, I’m in contract to purchase a 46 foot they call it a motor yacht but it’s just like a marine trader my parents had in the 90s there’s was a 47

Thanks I will post some pictures when I figure out how
