Trojan Boat Forum

Bought my current beloved '74 Trojan Tricabin back in 1998. My ragged boating history can be summed up as follows They were all "Money Pits" :D 1974-77 pontoon houseboat by Lake Ontario Cement Company ??? 1977-84 1955 Shepherd 34' cruiser (see shepherd boats website) 1984-86 repurchased t...

Hi Mike,

Well, I dunno. Two barking dogs make me kind of nervous as there are enough barking dogs in my Marina already.

Just kidding. Consider yourself onboard for TWO pennants.

Cheers

Tad, No pic of sample. I went down there, had a look at it and gave them the okay to go ahead. Don't worry though, when I get the finished product I'll post a bunch of pics before anyone has to make up their mind about actually taking one. Hope all is well at your end, we're finally getting some goo...

Guys, those were some really, really, bad "Bad Day Stories!" :( I hate it when stuff like that happens. My worst nightmares have revolved around previous boats that I have owned and not this current sweetheart, Trojan Tricabin of mine - things like a broken steering cable one time, coil an...

Hi Men, Added BMac and Mike Astringer to the order for pennants. Well I see that the forum is back up and running. :D Just got back from a week-end in New England and a successful hike to the top of Mount Washington. Had a great time. Pennant mock up was ready by yesterday and I have now approved it...

So far it's as follows: Initial Order: 30 Pennants. 5 pennants for Trojans located at my own Marina (my Tri, a 1972 28 footer, 3 F32's) in Rideau Ferry, Ontario.... Rideau Lakes 1 pennant for Rick1954 of Waterford 1 pennant for Paul in Hampton, Va 1 pennant for David of Sandusky OH 1 pennant for the...

Attended the annual Corn Roast Barbeque at our Rideau Ferry Harbor Marina this past Sat nite(always a big crowd) and also the moment when they snap the annual "team photo" of the marina population. Rock and roll music until 3:30 A:M (each year I marvel how the police are never called in to...

Men,

When I try to "Edit" my Pennant Waiting List, a General Error sign pops up and it goes to a "Debug Mode" screen..... and thus up to this point, I can't seem to add Expresso to the online list. Any idea what this "Debug" general error thing is?

Expresso..... sure thing, consider yourself on the list.

Cheers

Hi David, I told them I'd like a sample pennant done for next week and they're going to try there best. These pennants will not fit their automatic machine and will all be handsewn. They have some neat older ladies working there and the pennants are a nice change of pace for them. They specialize in...

Re: Trojan Pennants. At the outset, I purchased two nice, local, double sided polysester/nylon blend, embroidered, marina pennants and used them as examples of the design and quality desired for the Trojan Pennant I ordered manufactured. I spoke with the people at Weso on Monday and let them know t...

Well............looks like I finally got the leak fixed. yaeee. It has really poured here twice now and there is NO WATER IN THE REAR BEDROOM! For those of you experiencing a similar situation, there did not need to be a big gaping space between the top of the window frame and the fiberglass to incu...

Paul's correct re: the break in.

Of course, how many of us Trojan owners ever get to break in a brand new engine?? I guess I only dream about stuff like that.

Rick

Matt - I've heard that having radar humming along close by can cause sterility.... any probs?

Cheers

I use synthetic in my '74 tricabin with 1300 hours on the powerplants, but that's just me. I love the stuff, might even be tempted to drink it.... just kidding. Synthetic oil hasn't negatively impacted any of my older car engines either. But, I believe that regular oil is fine too as long as we chan...
