Intro from Canada

Post by gdcardoza »

Hey everyone,

Just figured I'd take the time and introduce myself!!

My name is Graham Cardoza and I just became the proud owner of a 1984 10 Meter Trojan International!

I've had it for just over two weeks now and have been enjoying every minute of it! She was launched last Friday in Lagoon City, Ontario!

Here are some pictures!

Hi Graham, Welcolm aboard and nice looking boat. I am located in Southern Georgian Bay. Should you venture through the top end of the Trent look us up at Bay Moorings Marina in Penetanguishene. You will see there are many Trojans throughout our area. A result of Dawsons in Keswick having been a Trojan dealer for many years. Have a great boating season. 8) Regards, Jim.

I'm not a stranger to the Trojan Boats or Meter boats for that matter.

My family has had the following;

To answer a few questions;

She's powered by twin 454 Crusaders

Not too sure on a name yet

Hello Graham - and very welcome here in our gang :wink:

Does your vessel real have this wide beam ?!?
Looks very comfortable - but not easy docking.

Our (F-32) beam is 13 foot - what's yours ?

Thank's for the pictures in right size :D
