Trojan Boat Forum

Hey Christian, Hows the projects going, sea cocks, through hulls and glassing. Hope you're making good progress and possibly close to putting it in the water. Hope all is well

Barrie

Congrats on the new boat! looks great!
I'm new here as well, it does seem to be the center of the universe for all things Trojan

Hey Christian, those are all the valves I was able to find on mine, also it's been my experience that there will always be air in the top of those see through filters.

My interest is peaked, I was going to guess that it was a lid to a mason jar bong, but i'm thinking now it has something to do with glassing in the holes?? If you continue with this type of work I am going to be jealous. I will start a thread soon of my tri-fly project, and it won't be for the faint...

I'm guessing your mystery part is the lid to a thumper for moonshine.
It's about time you added that! You'll enjoy the results

LOL! 16 plugs, never considered that. And 2xwires, caps, oil, filters etc.
Although my Jag is V12 and that was bad!

May the force be with you

Wow Christian! looks like you're just "givin it".
I can't add anything useful here other than great work and I hope you get it in the water this summer yet.

Great articles in this post.......printed for future use

Congrats, great weather yesterday for a launch!
Enjoy!

Thanks Prowlersfish and Big D, it is helpfull to know this has been seen before and is possible.
And yes this Tri FLy has been terribly neglected but I found her and I do like to bring things back from the brink!

Thanks

I'm a little stumped here, how would water have gotten into the intake runner to freeze and cause this? The boat has been stored outside for 4 years, has twin 400 Chryslers From what I can tell the motor was otherwise winterized, drain cock opened and antifreeze in the remaining water. There is no &...

Hey Christian, anytime you need a picture of some thing or need to know "what's under there" but are not about to pull your floor up, or the interior out, let me know, I'll see if I can help out.
Glad you're making some progress.

Hey Christian, that tube does in fact have the steering shaft inside. The shaft goes from the upper helm to the bilge in that tube. Then into 90 degree gearbox, becomes a chain over to the lower helm This picture shows the gearbox in the bilge under the corner of the head in line with the tube above...

Hi Barrie, Great fun but I'm not sure I will be able to put it in the water this summer. Its all about the journey :D Christian LOL, just read your whole post Christian. I see it's NOT going to hit the water this year :) My boat also has the stainless tube from bathroom to upper deck, I think the u...

Hi Christian, I'm glad you'll get to use your new boat this year. Both of the motors are "stuck'" likely seized :(. the intake manifold is cracked on one, (I didn't see that!) I planned on a 2 year project anyhow, and I have a small Cruiser Inc. I worked on all winter for this year. I laug...

Yes, it's home, now I can get ripping it apart, I think you were wise walking away from this one! It's going to be a complete gut and reassemble, including both of the 400 Chryslers (which I can rebuild for about $800 a piece) Glad you got one that is near ready to go, good luck with it I don't know...
