Not new to the forum, but been a "reader" not a poster. With that I'm considering the purchase of a 1977 CHB. The model is like none I've seen before. It is like a Europa version of the Grand Banks or Ocean Alexander. The flybridge extends over the transom and sides where you have a narrow walkway around the deck. I've searched what I can find online and there is no mention of this CHB model. Anyone out the have one? Or, know what model this is?
Additionally, I see the same issue with the rudder arm that others have. My concern is what causes it?? A trusted repairman told me that the is a considerable turbulence in that area caused by the prop. Also, the previous owner changed from the factory three blade prop to a four blade compounding the issue. This one is almost cracked thru the arm at the bottom race of the rudder. Anyone??
