Trojan Boat Forum

I boarded the 12M last night WOW what a beautiful and roomy boat I want one!!!!!! Boat has been updated and looked great, I could not get over how much room was inside of that thing and being 6'8" I could stand straight up in the cabin and under the canvas there are not too many boats I can do ...

Very interesting articles on the 10 Meter. Loving the Trojans more and more....really like the 12M I may just go look at this one. http://www.admiraltyyacht.com/Page.aspx/diid/7555056/list/InventoryList/pageId/143573/view/Details/1990-Trojan-Sport-Cruiser-12-Meter-Express-400.aspx My thinking is whe...

It's an express http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1992/Trojan-10.8-Meter-Express-2493891/Harrison-Township/MI/United-States I did find another 12M with "rebuilt Detroits" near by. $60,0000.00 would buy that one. I may just hold out till next year and see If I can pick up one of the two 12M i...

What exactly makes the Trojan's better than the Sea Rays? Sea Rays seem to have a huge following in my area, I do not know if that makes them sell any better but the asking prices seem higher.

I want to go big....It's a sickness LOL. I an 6'8" tall so I like express cruisers so I am not ducking the whole time I am on my boat and I don't want to climb stairs either. For some reason I am drawn to the Trojan's there is a 10.8 Meter near me listed for $41,000.00 that keeps catching my ey...

Probably 50 hours a year. Always in a hurry to get to the new destination and then back home. I knew the answer to my own question I guess but the initial cost and the fear of having a major diesel repair keeps me looking at the cheaper gassers. Maybe I need to be looking at 10 meters.

Hey guys still looking and have not logged in in a while. There is an 11 meter right by my house with 454 crusaders and the owner is motivated (Asking 23,000) My concern is how underpowered is this boat? I am a weekend warrior not a long distance cruiser so I am not sure what I would be giving up by...

Took a quick look last night.....Rain and lightening cut it short. Gut feeling is that it's a $30,000.00 boat if it surveyed good it could be used as is but there is a lot of smaller things wrong or missing wondering if that seem too cheap to you guys.

Thanks for the input.....We will see how it goes tomorrow. Is there any trouble spots on the eleven meters that are well known and I should look for before making an offer (pending clean survey) also I do have the moisture meter but what are acceptable readings?

The 12M is with a couple of brokers. I asked real hard where the bottom might be and broker thought 62 would buy it...Just too much for me. I want to be around the 45 mark and hoping that I can get close to that on the 11 Meter

I think a boat this size will be my last boat....I need to step up in size but how far? I appreciate your input and opinion and welcome any advice. I love boating but the limited Lake Erie season makes me look to investment in a larger of a boat this age rather than big money on a newer boat. I am p...

Me too....It would be a huge step up for me. Currently have a 1995 Rinker 280 Fiesta Vee with twin outdrives. I would like to step up but wonder if there is any market at all for a boat of this vintage and would I be stuck if I decided it was just too big. I keep dreaming of a big boat but it could ...

Looking at a 1987 11 Meter http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1987/Trojan-11-Meter-Express-2629799/Monroe/MI/United-States#.U57xEPldVqI So far just a drive by...Hoping to board her Wednesday. The owner keeps saying Bertram Hull was this a solid hull or cored hull. Of course I will pull a survey if I mo...

Thanks for the answers, I have yet to step foot on the 12 Meter yet. There is also a 121 meter with Cats in it in my area. Any opinions on Cat versus Detroit other than the rebuild cost? This is different territory for me, I can sell my current Rinker 280 and maybe pay for a rebuild.
