Re: Buying a Trojan 12 meter Express

Well I bought it! I'm now a Trojan owner. 1990 Trojan 12M International. Has DD 375 TA's with 550 hours. Passed the survey with pretty good grades.
Motors ran at 2550 RPM at about 27 knots.

Let the fun begin!! Coming from a 31 Silverton Convertibe with 4 kids, this is a BEAST!

I didn't see an answer to this question, but I'm about to buy a 1990 12 M with diesels. The boat originally had gas but owner had Detroits installed.

12 meter bulkhead has lead on it

Just about ready to buy a 1990 12 meter express next week. I read that the bulkheads might have some rot due to salt water coming in through the air intakes. Surveyor and I checked the bulkhead and it was spongy and wet. What we found was a thin coating of lead backed by some thin foam. It seems tha...
