Classic CHB Motor Yacht — Extensively Updated, Well Equipped & Motivated Seller!
Introducing this 1985 CHB Aft Cabin Motor Yacht, a beautifully maintained 47.7-foot vessel that combines classic craftsmanship, exceptional onboard comfort, and the equipment needed for both extended cruising and comfortable liveaboard life.
Built on a solid fiberglass modified-V hull, she offers a stable, confident ride and an exceptionally spacious layout. Whether the next owner is looking for a coastal cruiser, an extended-stay yacht, or a comfortable waterfront home, this CHB offers an impressive combination of space, capability, and recent investment.
Proven Caterpillar Power
She is powered by twin Caterpillar 3208 diesel inboard engines producing 375 horsepower each, providing dependable power and a cruising speed of approximately 16 knots.
The engines have been serviced and raw-water pumps have been replaced, reflecting the owner’s continued attention to the vessel’s mechanical systems and reliability.
Significant Recent Upgrades
One of the biggest advantages of this yacht is the substantial investment that has already been made in updating important onboard systems. Recent improvements and equipment include:
New lithium battery bank
New hot-water heater
Inverter
Dishwasher
Washer and dryer
Recently serviced Caterpillar diesel engines
Replaced raw-water pumps
Electric windlass
Climate-control systems
These are meaningful upgrades on a yacht of this vintage and can save a new owner considerable time and expense compared with purchasing a similar vessel requiring extensive electrical, mechanical, or liveaboard improvements.
Exceptional Liveaboard Comfort
The interior offers two private staterooms and two full heads, providing excellent separation and privacy for owners and guests.
The generous aft-cabin configuration creates the kind of interior volume that is increasingly difficult to find without moving into a significantly more expensive yacht. The combination of a full galley, dishwasher, washer and dryer, climate control, hot water, substantial battery capacity, and inverter makes her particularly well suited for extended stays aboard. There is ample room for entertaining, relaxing, working remotely, or simply enjoying life on the water. Her layout provides a genuine sense of living space rather than the compromises often associated with smaller cruising boats.
A Yacht Designed to Be Used and Enjoyed
This is not a boat that has simply been sitting while waiting for its next owner. She has been cared for, maintained, lived aboard, and continually improved.
The current owner has invested significantly in the systems that matter most for reliability, independence, and everyday comfort. The lithium battery system and inverter provide modern electrical capability, while the dishwasher, washer/dryer, new hot-water heater, and climate control make extended time aboard considerably more comfortable.
Her classic CHB construction, twin Caterpillar diesels, spacious accommodations, and extensive equipment create an attractive combination for someone seeking a substantial cruising or liveaboard yacht without stepping into the price range of a comparable newer vessel.
Motivated Seller — Serious Buyers Encouraged
The owner is highly motivated to see the yacht move on to her next chapter and has priced her with that goal in mind. Serious buyers are encouraged to take a closer look and bring reasonable offers.
With significant recent investment in her mechanical, electrical, and onboard systems, she represents an opportunity to acquire a well-equipped and extensively updated classic motor yacht without immediately taking on the lengthy list of projects often associated with vessels of this vintage.
If you’ve been looking for a spacious, capable and comfortable motor yacht with proven Caterpillar power and many of the expensive upgrades already completed, this CHB deserves a serious look.
