Trojan Sea Queen sea worthiness

[DaveF]

Hi,

I am considering buying a 1957 Trojan Sea Queen and have found a beautiful boat for sale. My concern however is that I live in Long Beach Ca and don’t want to be confined to the marina.

Can you take this size of boat out into the open ocean? I am not wanting to go out far but rather travel along the coast and visit neighboring cities and marinas. Is this something I could do in a sea queen or should I be looking for a larger boat. The one I’m considering has a 35hp Johnson 2cylinder outboard and everything is in good working condition.

I would love to get some good opinions so I don’t end up buying the wrong boat for my need.

Cheers, Dave.
