This 1973 CHB 33 is a fiberglass trawler powered by a single 120 hp Ford Lehman diesel engine. The boat cruises at 6 knots with a maximum speed of 7 knots, offering economical range suitable for coastal cruising and extended passages. At 33.5 feet in length with an 11.75-foot beam, she carries the classic lines and build quality that defined CHB trawlers from Taiwan.
The interior features one cabin and one head, arranged for comfortable cruising accommodations. Teak and interior woodwork remain in sound condition throughout. Recent updates include new batteries installed in 2026, new cushions in 2025, and a new swim step added in 2024. The bottom was last painted in 2021.
The Ford Lehman diesel engine starts reliably and runs smoothly once underway. Minor white smoke on cold startup is typical for this engine type and clears quickly. The boat has been consistently maintained and shows well for her age, reflecting careful stewardship throughout her service life.
