Down on the wall for a few days. The wife and I are off this week so stop by if you want to see the progress on the Rosalee...or lack of progress.

Yes! I had a guy do some work on her over the last week. He installed my new promariner charger and did some work on my bilge pumps. We were able to get out yesterday and head over to Billington's bay for a few hours. Too bad it was overcast for most of the day! It was still great to be on the water.

Do you have a 12V or dual voltage refrigerator that you want to keep running away from the dock when the engine is not running? That will be the biggest power draw, and one Group 27 battery won't be sufficient. Before one of us writes a dissertation on power usage :shock: let us know about the frid...

Stuff and random text and rambling... For question 1, do you have the battery switch turned on? There is usually an on/off switch for the batteries. If this switch is turned off you will not get any power to the lights, etc. If the switch is turned on are your batteries charged? The lights, radio, ...

I wish I was going boating... [insert sad face]

Team Trojan - Thanks for all the support so far. I appreciate the insight and tips that you have all given my. That being said, I have a few questions that I am hoping you can help with. This is my first boat, so some of these questions may be a little elementary. If you didn't know, I just bought a...

Took the day off yesterday and found a few problems I was able to address... 1. Plug wire number 8 was not hooked to the spark plug. Running a V8 on 7 cylinders is never a good idea. I decided to replace all the plugs, wires and distributor cap and rotor. 2. The water line running into the aftermark...

Zed, how is the timing on the engine? Sounds to me like its not advancing. You might want to check that before you tear apart the carb. If you need help, let me know. Went through the same issues with my boat when I got it 4 years ago because it sat so long. Flywieghts in the distributor were seize...

How is the clean-up / rehab going? Can you post some interior pics... The clean up is going well. I told my wife the other day that I don't remember a time feeling more broke than right now. Can't say that no one told me so! I got your message diablo, but I didn't see a place to reply. The boat has...

Here are a few more pics.

The back canvas is pretty much shot, but this funny little bow cover (no idea what to call this) is brand new!

Saw your boat tied to the wall this morning. Looks nice sitting in the water. Did you get it moved? The lake was a bit nautical this morning. Hope it layed down in the afternoon. Thank you!. She is in dire need of a cleaning. We drove it across the lake yesterday afternoon, right before the lake st...

Is that the boat that was stored at Snug Harbor? "Ros-A-Lee, right? Where are you going to keep her docked? We are in Oneida Lake marina, just south of you. I have an '81 F-26. If you need any help with anything, let me know. See you on the lake, and congratulations. She'll be docked on Chitte...

Well my new friends, I am offiallyish a new Trojan F-27 owner. The other issue was that the gentlemen signed over a non-transferrable registration in NYS...blah blah blah....text text text ... A whole bunch of great text ... Interesting about the registration. I thought the boat had a NYS reg stick...

Well my new friends, I am offiallyish a new Trojan F-27 owner. The other issue was that the gentlemen signed over a non-transferrable registration in NYS. After digging through a stack of historical records, including a couple days of a ship log and every single repair on the boat, I found the offi...
