[patzfan4eva]

Buying a 1980 Marine Trader or CHB, not sure how to tell the difference or if it really matters.* Need some railing hardware among other stuff, where is a good place to find it? thanks for the help in advance. David

They are pretty much the same boat. Chuck

I have a 1977 Marine Trader that was built by Chung Hwa Boat.
There is no difference.

As the Asians would say, same same but different.

lol fotoman. An ad I was looking at of a 77 MT said it had a FL 165hp. Is there a FL 165hp?

 

[Fotoman]

Never heard of a 165 hp FL. There is an 85 model. Maybe it has twin 85 and the guy can't count very well.
