Re: Georgian Bay or Simcoe Rendezvous - 2016??

Hi Away,

sounds good. I'm out of Lefroy.

Orillia might be a good meeting point?

Georgian Bay or Simcoe Rendezvous - 2016??

Good day,

We are located in south end of Lake Simcoe, but would be interested in a Trojan Rendezvous in Simcoe or Georgian Bay.

Is there an annual South Ontario Trojan Rendezvous?

If there is interest, we could setup a poll for where and see if we could put something together.

Re: Our 1987 Trojan F36 Tri-Cabin - Before and After

Mock up for speaker system - thought is to weld aluminum, molded to the existing arch. in the middle thinking of installing an LED projector, debating if it would project to the Aft or the Bow. Screen could be mounted on the Aft railing, but viewing would be for those off the boat, not so much on it...

Re: Best boat for family - 36' Tri-Cabin?

Good day JimK, I have a 1987 F36 Tri-Cabin. That I bought last year. It is my first boat, I found it easy to drive and feel very comfortable going through locks, etc. I know my Tri-Cabin has dual 30 AMP shore power. Grey water goes directly out. It sleeps 6 adults easily. It would be a great platfor...

Re: 1987 F36 Tri-Cabin - prop sizing

Very good point. Think this would be valuable info in general. There will definitely be differences. Drive train, engine all would need to be factored.

I'm still hoping someone has a Tri-Cabin and can share some of the info, as the it would directly help me :-)

Re: 1987 F36 Tri-Cabin - prop sizing

Hi Barrie, Thank you. Do you know what the pitch would be? How do you like the 4 blade Props? Did you have 3 blades before? If so did you notice a big difference? For Misty, you and others: Any info on the your RPMs for cruising on plane? WOT? Hull speed? GPH? Have not seen much 36' info on this sit...

Re: 1987 F36 Tri-Cabin - prop sizing

Hi Misty, Thank you for the response. Is your tri-fly a 36'? Is it 3 or 4 blades? I'm getting my props tuned and cupped, to see if it increases performance. It will then allow me to test proper WOT, Planning speed, etc to get a base line. Then I'll determine the cost to efficiency benefits for a 4 b...

Re: 1987 F36 Tri-Cabin - prop sizing

Totally Agree P-Dogg.

Love the TriCabin. Surprisingly easy to maneuver, I picked it up after a 45 min trip out with the head of engineering at our Marina. They have been awesome.

I didn't realize how much I would love being on the water.
