1979 Cheoy Lee 46 Trawler

The Cheoy Lee 46 LRC is a unique and very capable model and was built to LLoyds Specs in 1979. Cheoy Lee incorporated so many innovative features into the design of this model like the three staterooms with a Huge master SR and an almost equal VIP and forward V berth. The Cheoy Lee 46' LRC was the smallest 3 stateroom trawler built and has two full width Staterooms. The feel of the boat is huge for the length.  From the aft stairs down to the Master stateroom with a full ensuite head and separate stall shower. From the companion way, just forward of the Master, you walk into a stand-up full beam engine room with very reliable Lehman diesels.  All systems are easily accessible and well labeled.

One feature you will not find on most LRC's is that the fuel tanks are fiberglass AND are located centerline, above the keel of the vessel not on the sides, giving a great deal of stability. NO iron tanks here.
