Trojan Boat Forum

Oh yeah .... one more thing... once you get her in the water, learn how your boat handles, and how to handle your boat. Don't do this.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=lzMT9xtvcA4. Absolutely nothing complicated about what this skipper tried to do. Absolutely nothing t...

Good luck! Have you gotten started yet? Thanks adrewoh, I haven't got it home yet, I have a 25' Cruiser Inc that I'm just finishing ( stringers, wood work, electrical and engine rebuild) my first boat project. It's good learning for the real project I did craw through it and take some more pictures...

Good luck! Have you gotten started yet?

I did chilewich on mine, cut along all the hatches for easy access. It's vinyl with rubber backing...has a little texture so not slippery, doesn't fray. Screwed it down with grommets, could do snaps too. Here's a pic in dropbox...I love it https://www.dropbox.com/s/gpx3awtfgmgma9y/2014-03-26%2018.07...

I read your whole thread...I can't really help, but to say I hope you get back in the water next season. Sounds like you really enjoyed her along with dock friends and family. You were doing an amazing job on the ER & wiring!! Wow! The forum and the community is amazing with all the support and ...

Todd, I'm new to the forum & coming in on the tail end of your project. You're awesome! & thanks so much for all the posts! I'm humbled by your efforts!! I started out with a 71 F31fb in 2011 with Chrysler 383's. First boat, I'm handy and open to learn, but didn't bring much mechanical exper...

Roger that, thanks!

Good idea about using an existing hole--I'll take a look at that. I figured bronze was probably best...thanks all!

I just got a garmin gpsmap 741xs and now need to learn about transducers: what's the deadrise, plastic or bronze, where's the best place to install? I'm afraid to admit I don't need it for fishing, just depth. I'm on Lake Erie, so usually in 40-60'...any input is much appreciated!
