Post by willietrojan »

I will be leaving my beloved Chesapeake Bay area for the Gulf Coast of Alabama in early July. Even tho I sold my F32 last summer I still check in on the forum all the time to find out what's going in the Trojan world.

Once we get settled in our new home I will defiantly be in the market for new Trojan and hope to find one very soon.

Wow...you're leaving the area? I wish you luck down south Will! I'll let Kevin and Maraya know, unless they already have the info. Best of luck and look forward to you popping in from time to time!

Welcome to the deep South Willie!

You'll love the Alabama gulf coast - lots of great fishing. The Redfish are fat, and plenty of Trout.

one of the really nice things about the express style is the ease of singlehandling.

You do not have to count on your guests or anyone on the dock for assistence.

Thanks for all the well wishes!. I will miss the Chesapeake since I have been boating on it since I was 5 years old.

kevinz,

Where are some good inexpensive marinas around this area?

Ya, no issues from the fly. Also have the option of using lower helm if docking conditions dictate; windy, going through locks etc.
