Trojan Boat Forum

The Broker sent us the survey, it looks pretty good. Actually, excellent. The Hull Number is 602-3014. Any thoughts on the hull #? Still not convinced it's a Trojan 47

I think I've found something, I think it may be a Trojan/Shepherd 50', built by Trojan just after purchasing Shepherd. Look at this link to the old Shepherd Brochure, let me know what you think. VERY Similar, to say the least? http://www.shepherdboats.com/Boat_Models/Brochures/1969%20Brochure%20Colo...

Yep, looks very much like that, except the aft cabin windows aren't the same, which tells me it must be a different year. Can't believe it's so hard to find info on this year/model. Thanks for your help!

Where's Bob?

OK, Found that they made the Hilton in a 47, 50 and 53...

If it's a Hilton, I'd say it's a pretty rare boat.

I'm thinking it may be a Trojan Hilton 50, largest wooden boat they made.

Still researching....

OK, got it, my mistake.

GORGEOUS boat, but man, not sure we're ready for wood.

http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1973/Trojan-F47-2413865/Bayport/MN/United-States We've been watching this boat for awhile now, and noticed another thread here with many differing opinions. Broker has it listed as a wood hull, 1973, 47'. I'm not convinced.... it looks much bigger, and does not look w...

Hello Everyone, we are very interested in this boat. Currently have a 1974 36" Tri Cabin which we love, but have been talking about liveaboards for awhile now, and this boat may suit us. I'm confused, though. I too don't think it's 47, looks much bigger. And I'm not sure it's wood, although I c...

Thanks Aaron,

I guess I am in good shape, I always run the blowers for at least 5 mins before starting. And most of the time open the engine compartments just to check fluid levels and inspect for leaks.

Your boat looks great, keep it up!

Good Morning, Was working on the boat last night and have found three blowers. Two are located on the Port side, and are for venting the heads, and galley area, another is Starboard and vents the the Starboard engine. The Starboard engine compartment has 2 vent hoses, one is a 4" connected only...

Went in April 15th.

Look forward to asking, and answering some questions.

Update June 9, 2009: The port engine still is overheating, last night I replaced the impellers, and removed the thermostat, the new risers are not hot, just barely warm to the hand. (this is an improvement after impellers were installed) The exhaust manifolds are the same just warm to the hand. The ...

Welcome Gene, Now that spring is just about here I have my list of fun projects for the boat: while out of water: Fix trim tabs Bottom Paint new registration letters/numbers on sides clean wash wax hull saand/seal decks. replace raw water impellers I put the charged batteries back in and installed a...

There is a recirculating thermostat in the manifolds. Did you check them? I don't know where these are can some one point me in the right direction please. this is a Chrysler 280 HP 383 or 400cid big block. OK back to this over Temp problem: Replaced both exhaust elbows and risers last one finished...
