Overview

1986 CHB Senator 35 - Classic Trawler with Timeless Lines

Step aboard this 1986 CHB Senator 35, a proven, full‑keel trawler celebrated for her solid construction, comfortable layout, and legendary cruising efficiency. Built in Taiwan by Chung Hwa Boat Works during the golden era of heavy‑glass trawlers, the Senator delivers the kind of seaworthy confidence and classic charm that modern production boats simply can't replicate.

Powered by a single Perkins diesel (85 HP), this Senator is designed for economical, long‑range cruising at true trawler speeds. Her full‑displacement hull and protected running gear make her ideal for coastal cruising, the Intracoastal Waterway, or the Great Loop, offering peace of mind whether you're docking in tight quarters or exploring shallow anchorages.

The layout is exceptionally practical and welcoming. A bright, airy salon with generous headroom provides a comfortable gathering space, while the well‑appointed galley is perfectly positioned for extended stays aboard. Forward and aft staterooms offer excellent privacy, complemented by two heads, making this an ideal platform for couples or guests cruising together.

On deck, wide side decks, secure railings, and an electric windlass make handling easy and safe. The flybridge offers excellent visibility underway and comfortable seating for relaxing at anchor, while the classic trawler profile turns heads wherever she goes.

With substantial fuel capacity, impressive range, and the simplicity of a single‑engine setup, this CHB Senator 35 represents one of the best values in classic cruising trawlers--robust, honest, and ready for her next adventure.

Whether you're downsizing, planning the Loop, or looking for a dependable liveaboard with timeless appeal, this Senator deserves your attention.
