Description

Just listed and ready to impress, the 2009 Judge Chesapeake 36 invites you aboard to savor a rare union of luxury, performance, and rugged reliability. From the first glance to the first throttle push, this Chesapeake-bred hull feels purpose-built—equally at home chasing trophy fish offshore or cruising a sunlit coastline in effortless style. Step aboard and let the details speak for themselves: this is the dream boat that delivers.

Overview

Thoughtfully equipped and freshly updated, this Chesapeake 36 is turnkey from stem to stern. Power management and creature comforts begin with two 4D AGM house/thruster batteries installed in March 2023, an ISOTEMP 24L water heater with heat exchanger, an Origo one‑burner electric stove, and a Galanz microwave oven. On deck, a Lewmar ProV electric windlass pairs perfectly with the Fortress FX‑23 anchor—further enhanced in 2025 with 40 ft of chain and 200 ft of rode—while the Zipwake trim system and Side Power SE bow thruster deliver confident handling and precise running attitude. Custom interior curtains add a tailored touch, and the fuel tank was professionally polished in 2024 for clean, reliable delivery.

Mechanical care has been meticulous. The Cummins engine received a comprehensive service in December 2023, including aftercooler service, heat exchanger service, and replacement of all belts, hoses, and filters. Further confidence comes from new engine mounts installed in 2022 and a new cutlass bearing also fitted in 2022.

The electronics suite is equally compelling. In 2021, a Furuno DRS12AX UHD open array with 4 ft antenna, a Furuno autopilot with remote control, a Furuno FA‑50 AIS transponder for NavNet 3D, and an ICOM IC‑M400BB marine VHF transceiver unit with Command Mic IV HM‑195B were installed, creating a robust navigation backbone. The helm benefits from a Furuno TZT16F 16" multi‑touch TZT3 MFD (installed in 2024 and listed again among 2025 electronics), while 2024 brought updated Furuno and Zipwake software for smoother, smarter operation. Night operations are elevated by the 2025 Sionyx Nightwave camera.

Recent upgrades underscore a commitment to performance and reliability. In 2025, the boat received a new NextGen 3.5 kW generator, a Sionyx Nightwave camera, the Hull Shield ultrasonic antifouling system, an Airmar B175HW transducer, a Farbin dual horn, a Hisense 32" flat‑screen television, the Fortress FX‑23 anchor with 40 ft chain and 200 ft rode, and new LED blue/white spreader lights. Also conveying with the sale in 2025—though not yet installed—are a Reverso oil change system and a Victron Energy isolation transformer rated at 2000W 115/230V. Upgrades in 2024 included the Furuno TZT16F 16" multi‑touch TZT3 MFD, a 16K BTU reverse‑cycle air conditioner, a Nova Kool R2600 2.4 cu ft AC/DC single‑door refrigerator with freezer, and blue under‑gunwale LED lighting.

Every choice aboard this Judge Chesapeake 36 reflects practical intelligence and offshore‑ready poise, fusing modern electronics, fresh mechanical service, and comfort‑forward amenities into a single, deeply capable platform.
