CHB 35 Sundeck
1983–1986
The CHB 35 Sundeck is a compact aft-cabin flybridge cruiser that places a covered aft deck and two-cabin accommodation into a 35-foot hull. It uses traditional teak interior finishes and displacement-speed diesel operation, with the elevated sundeck arrangement emphasizing living space over a low profile.

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
