The CHB Pilot was put together for use as
a referral list for maintenance items and for those who are interested in
buying a CHB and want to know what to look for in the initial inspections and
subsequent surveys as the sale is brought to completion. This Pilot Guide is not limited to the CHB
vessel but can be used in the purchase of a number of like vessels as most of
the categories are common amongst all vessels.
The chief reason that makes this guide a CHB GUIDE will be the “Lessons
Learned” sections associated with most of the categories. This will detail comments made by various members
about their experiences with certain categories and hopefully will be the
really helpful area for members of the CHB Group.
CHB PEDGREE
While very interesting and helpful in
explaining variations in our boats ,the current
discussion of CHB pedigrees must be taken in the greater context.
We
are not an "Exclusive Brand Name" group. Rather it is the tremendous variation
of our Taiwan built Trawlers that has caused us to come together to provide
mutual help in sorting out the "Maze of Hwa." I write this because I don't want anyone to
feel that they might not belong because they don't have a "real" CHB.
If you have read the material presented so far concerning the pedigree of CHB,
FHB, CBK, ECT you realize that there is no one "real" CHB. And if you have been around
long enough you realize that we are definitely not an "exclusive"
group....that is, pinkies in the air while we sip our tea. While we may not be able (nor willing) to pin
down a singular definition of who we are (from MT to KK), we do know that we
are not USP :-)

THE
PRICE TO PAY
(Three levels depending where you are in the
process)
1.
The price for which a boat lover will
hand over the keys with a tear in his eye.
2.
The price a starry eyed owner needs to
move up to the boat he now wants.
3.
The amount he'll take when he's got two footitis, or after he's already bought another.
