CHB 45 Pilothouse

PRICE JUST DROPPED — $20,000 

1980 CHB 45’ Pilothouse – Twin Diesels – San Diego

This is a true first-come, first-served deal. The owner has just dropped the price to $20,000, and the first person who offers it takes it.

You’re getting a 45-foot, twin-diesel, pilothouse trawler for the price of a small runabout.

Powered by twin Lehman 120 HP diesels (approx. 2,800 hours) with a newer generator. Engines and generator start easily, run clean, and have had recent routine service. This boat is operational and cruise-ready right now.

Major upgrade already done:

The original steel fuel tanks were replaced with newer aluminum tanks (approx. 500 gallons total). That alone is a huge long-term cost saver.

Inside you get:

-Almost new Norcold refrigerator/freezer

-Princess electric stove

-Microwave

-Full up galley

-Forward master with island queen bed

-Guest cabin with bunk beds

-Large flybridge with seating and davit/crane

-Electronics include radar, autopilot, depth sounder, and VHF.

About the slip:

The boat is currently kept at a private yacht club, so the slip is NOT transferable — but that’s why this deal exists. 

Bottom line:

A 45-foot twin-diesel pilothouse trawler for $20,000 with aluminum fuel tanks, a generator, and working systems is almost unheard of. This is a dockside project-friendly cruiser that you can enjoy immediately and improve over time — or even resell.

$20,000 takes it. First serious buyer wins.
