Trojan Boat Forum

The F44 Motor Yacht is a good boat for us. Unfortunately, I cannot address the question of stringers. Perhaps a good surveyor can help. Our only real issue has been a keel full of water. VERY foul smell in boat. Once drained of water, though, the smell resolved. The Chris 410 is a nice boat but I su...

Got the pennants and they look great on the boat. Thanks, Scott!!

If possible, please change my order to one blue and one rust color….thanks

If there is a choice of colors, make mine a blue one….

I'll take one….thanks

Hi, Drew…the vacu-flush on INTERMISSION is like Lorenzo's except we have 2 pumps-one for each head. Last spring, we had all the hoses replaced and a tank monitor installed by the local vacu-flush dealer. Not cheap. We had a persistent faint smell. Just last month the smell was tracked down to an i...

On our 1977 F44, the raw water strainers for the 6-71's are positioned horizontally instead of vertical. This means anytime the strainer is opened for basket cleaning, the whole contents of the strainer are emptied into the bilge. I've never seen these positioned horizontal. I'm thinking of having t...

Aaron, I'll keep that in mind when the time comes. At this point, I'm not sure what you mean by ladder stops. I'll look closely when we are at the boat and see if I can figure out what they are. At this point, I'm still getting ideas how to proceed…PlasTeak vs fiberglas fabrication vs buying a lar...

We also will have an under platform swim ladder.

I will be replacing the teak ladder. During the survey last year, the ladder broke at the hinge. We have decided that curved stairs would be easiest to use instead of a ladder. Stairs with a handrail make for safer transit from aft deck to swim platform.

We are looking to replace the wood swim platform on our 44 MotorYacht. We plan on a 12foot x42 inch platform. Has anyone any experience with PlasTEAK for swim platforms?

Our 1977 F44 has the 2 Cruisair units-each 16000 BTU. The compressors in the engine room are not original but don't know their age. Both recently checked out fine. The air handlers (I think thats what they're called) in the salon and both staterooms are rather loud, esp the one in the salon. Here in...

At the time, I was really concerned that the ruined props were not the 26x23 that the invoice from 1977 showed. I checked with several sources here in Florida and all agreed that 24x24, 4 bladed should be a good fit. The only ones I could find on short notice was the cupped pair. Most said that the ...

We have had our F44 for a year. When we bought it, the props were badly damaged. The original invoice from 1977 said it had 26x23,3 bladed props. We checked around and eventually settled on 24x24 cupped 4 blade props. The vessel runs just about 18 knots WOT at ~2100 rpm. I was told by the DD mechani...
