Just Think...

Post by Stripermann2 »

Imagine that you could buy a used Trojan, any year or model and have Trojan workers, who built these vessels, completely rehab it to better then new condition- at a lower cost than a new model?? :)

Evidently, Hatteras is doing just that- neat concept.

Hey Paul,

Yes we're talking about engines. Paul's are suck and sqeeze. And we pay more and have plugs we get suck,sqeeze bang and blow. But back to the topic. It would be nice to have a dealer that can get the parts and up date older boats.

Sorry if this is full of type o's I'm useing my blackberry I'm on the boat.
