CHB 35 Sundeck Sundeck

Best for

• Couples wanting an aft-cabin layout below 36 feet
• Liveaboard or extended-cruising buyers prioritizing interior volume
• Owners comfortable maintaining an older Taiwan-built trawler

Trade-offs

• High profile and windage affect docking and bridge clearance
• Exterior teak and aging deck or window structures require surveillance
• Engine-room and service access are tighter than on larger trawlers
• Individual builder and equipment variation is significant

Known concerns

• No model-specific concern has been promoted to B-Atlas’s evidence threshold. This does not mean the model has no age-, condition- or hull-specific risks.

Inspection focus

• Moisture-test teak-deck fasteners, deck penetrations, window surrounds and cabin-house joints
• Inspect fuel tanks, fill and vent hoses, supports and access for corrosion or leakage
• Inspect original wiring, shore-power equipment, bonding and later electrical modifications
• Inspect exhaust systems, engine mounts, shafting, rudders and steering gear
• Confirm builder, model configuration and major refit history from hull documentation

About this record

B-Atlas preserves uncertainty: missing information remains unknown rather than being treated as a negative. Specifications and guidance describe the model record; individual boats can differ by year, equipment, refit and condition.
