Hi...Jeff from smoggy NJ...I am a newbie...really don't know how to use a forum that well...we are looking at a 12 meter convertible and I am
really impressed with the room and the 671s downstairs...what I don't know is how it handles in snotty seas...any comments would be helpful...have had a Trojan before although it was out first and it was small...a 30' Flybridge...that unfortunately was somewhat of a mistake...a little too tender although
and otherwise beautiful boat...next came an 86' SeaRay Flybridge Sedan...once again a beautiful boat but it had wheels in the tunnel and I will never
buy a boat with them again...lose an engine and you just stop right there and call SeaTow...there is no way to handle a boat with prop pockets when ur missing an engine...anyhow I like the 12 meter...as you can already probably guess we do our fishing at ShopRite so we just like to cruise and the 12 meter just has a ton of room...I also like the fact that I don't have to punch a hole in the side of my boat if I ever have fuel tank issues since the 12 meter has just one tank right under the cockpit...but can I ask for other comments pro / con on this unit since I have not owned one yet...thanks much

Re: Trojan 12 Meter
We love ours, although we have not had her out as much as we would like so far. Only been out in 4 footers, but not even a shudder. We don't even turn into boat wakes any more, because it feels like a platform instead of a boat. Dry on the flybridge as well, since the Delta Conic hull tends to deflect the spray pretty far outwards. Fine in a following sea unless you are going too slow, or have too much tab down. Love our fat bottom girl. If you were in Florida, I'd give you a ride. Hope this helps !

Re: Trojan 12 Meter
The meter boats are amazing!
I just picked up my 12 Meter Express this summer with 6-71's and it's awesome! Had the pleasure of bringing it back into the marina on a single engine, with no issues at all. Just have to take it slow.
Either way, good boat, great engines! Just ask about service history and hours

I know I am a few years to late, new at this forum stuff lol.
I have taken my 12 meter in 6 ft seas, you can feel a little but, feels like your in 3-4.
Heavy feeling boat that cuts through

Great boat, bought a 10 meter sedan last summer. Amazed with how stable she is, very little roll given the nice wide chines.
