Trojan Boat Forum

Exactly!

People say that about cars to yet I've made boat loads of money in buyiing/selling exotic cars. Maybe not today, but someday the economy will turn. Remember I'm not talking about a 27' cruiser or even a 36' trawler, it's is a 53' MY. Leaning towards no on the boat but still considering it. I've foun...

Not quite sure what you mean RWS. Please explain.

She is a wood superstructure with glass overlay as it was built by the factory. Per another forum member, the same build as the old Tollycrafts. My current situation would actually allow me to devote myself entirely to rebuilding her with a "career" as my side job. :) Nothing great, just s...

Yeah she was big. This is the kind of boat I can enjoy for the next 13 - 15 years with my family then retire on!!

Thanks, I did find that online as well. I am actually contemplating the boat rather than just ruling it out. She has great potential but is a bit overwhelming to think of all that needs to be done. We shall see....

There sure are! I am open to different makes and styles to. I looked at a 1972 38' Egg Harbor the other day. I could see enjoy that for many years to come.

I think this boat needs to find a home that has an owner that doesn't work and can live on board and restore her. That's a dream of mine, not reality. O...

On my way for initial inspection now. If all goes well I will schedule my mechanic for an inspection.

Will advise ......

Clarification on the superstructure. It is factoy wood with fiberglass laid on top. Nothing was ever done with the hull and its very sound, according to the current owner. The "custom built not factory" part is that the salon was widened eliminating the catwalks and extended for more inter...

That's comforting. There is no need for anything otherwise. I am a member of and enjoy several other forums, my fav .. Rinker Boat Owners Forum (RBO). Been a member at RBO for 2 years since purchasing my Rinker and love it there. Its like a big family. I even started a Summer Gathering of Rinkers in...

Thanks for the warm welcome RWS!

Yes, I am and I do still have the Thompson. I am not moving to VA (wish I was). I am just looking to dock my boat there so I can have an escape.
