Trojan Boat Forum

Hi, I recenty bought a 40ft rear aft cabin , that I live aboard full time in Hampstead, NC. The hull says she is a 1980 but the surrey says 1979 , she has 671 natural, two staterooms, 2 heads, galley, main salon, flying bridge. controls only on the flying bridge, I love her lay out and everthing about her so far. what year is she and what model is she

Any pictures?
What is the HIN... the number stamped on the transom.
This info would help to answer your question.

gosh it is cold here this morning but here is the numbers TRJS00350979 1980 400 that was stamped in the hull a little above the waterline, and how do i post a pic of her on here, I ain't to computer savvy

Your boat was built in Sept 1979 and may have been 1980 model or a 1979 that was relabeled a 1980 if it did not sell right away . this was a very common practice back when the boat was new.

My F36 was built in Oct 1977 but was a 1978 model

You need to join a free photo site and place the pictures there. Then you link to them in the message you write here.

First steps first, join a photo site and get your photos showing there... we can then walk you through the next steps.
A couple of free ones are:
http://www.photobucket.com
http://www.flickr.com
If you need even more help you can use Picasa to help organise and share photos that are on your PC
http://picasa.google.com/

OK. I consider myself somewhat computer literate, and went to Photobucket and posted my boat photo to use with my profile. However, in trying to revise my Profile, it is not recognizing the URL address from Photobucket.
Any thoughts? Help?

The profile picture can not be larger then 80 x 80 pic. You will need to down size your picture. You then need to Copy the direct link from Photobucket and paste it to the profile link in this forum. Again you must submit a photo no larger then 80 x 80 pic.

gjrylands - Thanks for help. I had reduced the size, but couldn't get the profile to recognize the web address. Finally got to the page with the four Image Link Codes in Photobucket that works -- Direct Link! Yea!

But, ready123's profile photo is 240 x 180 pixels. How did you do that?

Now I have to figure out how to add larger pics to my messages.

Things are much bigger up north .... hahaha

I'd rather have a bigger season :-))

Still trying to get larger photo in reply box. Getting frustrating.

I don't think you would want to go any bigger then that. Nice looking boat

You were missing the /Img at the end which I have put in above. Though it seems to be the same size, so you need to select the url for the larger one if you need it.

Prowlersfish,
Trying to put larger photo in message window.
Thanks for the compliment. Spend a lot of time waxing. Boat is not shed kept.

ready123,
Thanks, didn't know I needed to add that.
I did use a larger photo (4 x 6) and the pixel size (432 x 312) is larger than the photo of your boat. Still puzzled.

FINALLY GOT IT!!
I'll shut up now :-))
