Trip to Ottawa Canada

Post by gumper »

I took my first trip to the capital ( Ottawa,Ontario,Canada) this summer. It was a great trip. Met several trojan owners. I passed this wooden trojan that looked to be in very good condition. Never saw the owner. I was wondering if it belonged to anyone here?

She's a pretty girl.
She was a 1969 36 ft wooden beauty with big blue 440s that we'll miss forever.

Nope, not me. Does look a little shorter than 36. How was that trip? I've been up and down the Trent/Severn from one end to the other more than once but never been up Ottawa way.

I had a very good time. I grew up by the canal in Ottawa. Never thought I would have my own boat. Going up and down the canal. Once you get close to Ottawa it is like driving through peoples backyards. I much prefer going towards Kingston. I will post some pics of the trip.

Aside from the bridge (and resulting king-size mast) and sedan doors, not too different from my father's old '69 28 footer (at least externally). But I do see a lot of similarities with F32 interior layout too.

Thanks for the great compliments. She is still for sale at the regrettable price of $9300. Under 400 original engine hrs. Current, awesome clean survey with moisture readings all at the low end of the scale. Absolutely NO issues. http://www.portcarlingboats.com/classic ... ale/pb410/
