Trojan Boat Forum

The owner is having the trim tabs repaired, and has agreed to another sea trial. I will take a laser tachometer and see if the tachs on the boat are off. Also see if I can't read the transmission ID plate Aaron referenced as well as snap a pic. I did have compression tests done on the engines and al...

Thanks everyone for the input. I look forward for the verification on the trannies prowlers fish. I did not use trim tabs as one of them had a leaking hydraulic line. I also wonder if the tachs are accurate.

Here are the serial numbers for the tranny's: Port-98530 Starboard-10021, sorry I do not have any pics of these. The survey also has these props at 14x10 the owner states they are 14x12.

Thanks for the reply Prowlersfish, I do not know if the velvet drives are 1:1 or 1.5:1. The surveys (his from 07 and mine from last month) both simply refer to them as being borg warner velvet drives.

Hi everyone, I have been reading this forum for almost a year while looking for a Trojan to call my own. My boating experience dates back to the 80's, and 90's and all were twin screw charter boats on Lake Ontario. After looking at a few boats, I came across a 1974 F 32 that filled my requirement of...

During so I was leaning towards John Vanderperk and was about to ask if anyone had any experience with him, and thanks to Rick that has been taken care of. This boat is a 1974 sedan and s...

I am looking at an F-32 in St. Catharines, Ontario and wondered if anyone could recomend a marine surveyor in this area.

Thanks,

Troy
