Looking for any feedback, good and bad on a Trojan F-32 flybridge with 454’s. I am looking at purchasing. I have heard rumers they are not great in bigger seas? Especially in a following sea. I currently own a 28’ cover mariner for past 20 yrs which has been a great boat but have wanted something a little bigger.
Thanks for any insight

Re: 88’ Trojan F-32
There not great in following seas but what boat is? The earlier ones had smaller rudders so that was a factor. And some owners say its never been an issue. I do know the handle better with weight aft so use the forward tanks first

A sea trial will answer a lot of questions you may have.

Just an FYI - F-32 in 88 had 270 crusaders. these are 350 small blocks not 454's.
based on your description, if you are looking at the one in NE Wisconsin, I used to own it.

Boat was likely repowered as 454s were not available from the factory. A friend of mines brother had one he repowered with 454s

I have a late 88 F32 with 350 crusaders and she runs great and very seaworthy. No soft spots and no leaks
