This 1978 CHB 34 is a fiberglass trawler built for economical, comfortable cruising. The boat measures 34 feet in length with an 11.5-foot beam and is powered by a single 120-horsepower Ford Lehman diesel engine. The engine has logged just over 4,000 hours and carries a documented service history exceeding $30,000 in maintenance. At a cruising speed of 8 knots, the boat burns approximately 2 gallons per hour.
The interior features three cabins and two heads. Fresh water storage comprises two 75-gallon tanks, and fuel capacity totals 300 gallons across two 150-gallon stainless steel tanks. Waste capacity includes two 25-gallon holding tanks. An 11-gallon hot water tank supports the onboard systems. Heating is provided by diesel cabin heat and an engine-style buss heater, while a 1,800-watt inverter handles AC and DC power needs.
Recent work includes deck re-coring and recaulking completed in 2020, with the deck refinished at that time. The newer Lewmar windlass handles ground tackle, and dual bow and stern thrusters aid maneuvering. Additional equipment includes filtered fresh water, LED lighting throughout, bug screens for all doors and windows, and canvas covers for exterior seating areas. A portable generator is included with the sale.
The boat comes furnished with considerable gear, including four inflatable Mustang lifejackets and full safety equipment. A 2021 Great Pacific tender and an E Propulsion Spirit electric outboard with lithium battery round out the inventory. Kayak racks accommodate four watercraft.
