Trojan Boat Forum

Sorry I missed your question. I have a blend on my boat some of it is glass and some is plywood with some type of teak over it. From what I am told it is not original which is ultimately what lead me to go with non wood as well as the fact that the price to rebuild was so good I am letting them run ...

I have been put in contact with a boat builder who builds with composite or let's just say wood free materials i will let you know what the name is. Nida Core is a product made in the city I live in and the material is used in a lot of the high end fishing boats built in FLA. I will let you know in ...

Guys thank you so much for the info on my boat and also for posting my pics. As luck would have it I got connected to the owner of Ameracat Boat builders in Ft Pierce Florida. Talk about a nice guy.

Also I wanted to say that i pulled the trigger and bought the boat so I am officially a Trojan owner!!!!

Thank you for the welcome....

I pretty much have my heart set on not using wood. I am thinking that this boat will be one that I keep for a long time and so I would like it to be as much of a long term fix as possible.

I am thinking about purchasing a 1973 30' Trojan however the rear deck is REALLY soft. I live in Port Saint Lucie Florida and the Nida-Core factory is here. I was wondering if that was a good option for a redecking project. I love the look of wood but want a low maintenance solution. I love the boat...
