I have a broker in FL who has been searching for a trawler for me for a long time. He found one in New York, a little ways up the Hudson. It's a 1987 "Golden Star" sundeck 38. Twin diesels, ooh ah. Broker tells me it's on stands in the yard. I've googled around -- including this site -- and I found a little here and there, but not much. Taiwanese, looks like it was a nameplate they used for about 3-4 years, about 1986 to 1989. Some references say it was a name used by CHB (Chien Hwa Bros.) for a little while, but then other search results say something different. Some search results say it came out of the same yard as Grand Banks and is generally comparable to GB, which sounds pretty decent to me, but then who knows if that's true. Before I spring for a plane ticket to Westchester for a quick hop out there, does anybody know anything about that nameplate? Generic Taiwanese trawler, acres of woodwork inside, etc?
Thanks.
