Trojan Boat Forum

Robert Brown (& Dan Faith): I live in Sandusky & got my boats at Battery Park Marina. We shut down the house & live on the tri-cabin late April - end of Oct., early Nov. You can contact me at: mysaabrocks@aol.com cell phone (419) 366-7028 Great to know there's more Trojan skippers in the...

At Battery Park Marina, Sandusky OH, I am paying $2317.50 for my 36', or $64.37/ft. Includes electric/water/cable tv. Got another slip for my 17 1/3 ft at $425 for the season, no utilities.

Some good ideas & information floating out there. Heck, use as existing hull to use as a pattern to make a mold. Not a bad idea to find & redo existing boats to today's standards. Total tearout & rebuild, engines, electronics, layout, etc. Let's keep dialoging about it!

Good reading. With all the past glory of Trojan, I'm wondering why we Trojan lovers don't band together and resurrect the Trojan name in a new boat: start making and marketing it, & go through the adventure the McQueens & Hulls & Warners did!!!

Can you get a rough measure of your new boat from the highest point (running light perhaps?) to about 9" below the hull paint line? Do you have antennae that stick up high? Can they pivot down? A standard spec undoutably wouldn't help as each boat has had different componentry put on it over th...

The standard canvas configuration on the tri-cabins left the cockpit area open to water. Have you checked out the back end thoroughly? Between the prior owner of mine and myself, a lot of my wood in the back end has been replaced. Even check out the wood backing plates for the propeller shaft struts...

I used to live in Connecticut & New Jersey & have also been by that stretch of the Hudson lots of times. He came in low over the GW; don't want to imagine what it would have been like if he was lower & hit it. It would have been worse than when the plane went down in the Potomac & hi...

I'll bet they they should be more correctly called Mercruiser 280's. Take a look at the name plate on your engines & see what it says for Model # & Serial #. Mercruiser takes various car manufacturer engines, 'marine-izes' them, and calls them by their horsepower rating. I've got a tri-cabin...

Great news to hear not only are you safe, but everyone aboard that flight. The pilot truely pulled off a miracle!

Just wanted to let everyone know all the pennants you wanted have been received, all the monies paid to me, and in 10 days the wife & I will be going on a Carbbean cruise - life is good!!! You guys are the greatest to work with & it's been my pleasure to help Jimini get these pennants out to...

Saw the incident on our TV news & the 1st thing I naturally thought about was my brother Trojan owners, but from what I could see of the capsized hull, it wasn't any of you, thank God. From what I've seen on the forum, those of you going out have been on bigger boats.

Thanks, Aaron's dad; I have to do something to seal up those channels prior to launch. So much rainwater came in the port side window it filled up & blew my light in the fwd head. So glad you can share with us on the forum, & hope you can find useful information for yourself also !

I got 2, one for the wife, one for me. We plan on taking them to a tee shirt shop & get our boat name put on them, along with our name/ranks (Dave / Captain, Dianne / Admiral :lol: !!! They are nice quality shirts-well worth the money. Hey, why not post pics on this thread of ourselves wearing t...

Thanks, Aaron. The guys are right-we share our Trojan (and sometimes not so Trojan!) knowledge on the Forum so all can benefit. That is, after all, the reason we have such a great forum!!! I do look forward to your dad participating on the forum, but, hey, I figure it's like Cialis...when the time i...

I've seen in prior posts where the whole salon window assemblies have been removed from the boat to replace the window channels. My window channels are shot-leaked badly last summer. Used clear silicone caulk to get me through the season. While the boat is in inside storage this winter, I'd like to ...
