Thank you for the explanation

Paul, what an amazing adventure story!!!!!!!!! You just finished what I hope to (or maybe not) accomplish next summer. I'm just a new member as of this summer, and I joined to learn all I can about Trojan tri-cabins. I've started reading from page 144, and am gradually working my way through the wea...

Chris,
Thanks for the tips

One of the Tri-cabins (1984) I am considering has two Mansfield Traveler 911 toilets. The boat has a main holding tank located in a storage area at the base of the stairs to the v birth. Both have what appear to be "holding tanks" at their base. I'm puzzled as to how this system works. 1) ...

While looking at several mid-late 80's potential Trojan 36 tri-cabins for purchase over the summer, I've noticed the wall covering in the aft cabin appears to be nothing more than a vinyl type of wallpaper. In most of the ones I've looked at, the beige wall covering is usually lifting at seams or ed...

Hello again. Thanks again to: Aaron, P-Dogg, RWS, Hard Eight, and Todd, for your invaluable thoughts and suggestions to date. Well as I reported in early Sept, the Trojan Tri-cabin that was on my "short list" was surveyed and some minor issues, as expected with any boat, were discovered. T...

Hello again everyone. As I mentioned in my very first posts of the last couple of weeks, the Trojan tri-cabin I've been searching for all summer was scheduled for it's survey today. As mentioned, I have looked at, or inquired about "several" in and around Ontario, and northern New York ove...

Thank you P-Dogg

Thank you all for your thoughts on surveys. I wouldn't be able to sleep if I didn't get a survey done by someone "I was paying for". Regardless of how thorough the sellers survey was or how current it is, I'm still planning on a FRESH survey for next Monday Sept 9. The owner has been very ...

Several of the later model tri-cabins ie mid-late '80's have a series of louvered vents along their sides just below the gunnel. There are four on each side at the mid ship area to facilitate engine breathing, and one near the rear quarter on each side, which I suspect is for supplying fresh air to ...

Hi Rick,
Thanks for the tip on the drain locations of your boat. I will keep that in mind for next week when I return to do a more thorough inspection of my potential purchase.
Warren
ps if I decide on this boat....next summer is a planned trip up the Rideau from here in Gananoque.

Geeez, only one drain plug? Even my 28ft Carver has two brass " T "- handle drains: one at stern, one in the mid engine compartment.

Just wondering what the cubic inches are for the 270 hp Crusader engines found in some Trojans

Thank you for your prompt reply. I have a copy of the most recent survey. The owner had it done for sales purposes. All stanchions are secure except for one that shows minor moisture at it's base. I didn't want to go climbing through the bilge looking for the drains, without some idea where to look....
