Trojans in the 50's and 60's vintage are few and far between. I just bought my 1966 42' Sea Voyager last week. Mechanically she is in pretty good shape. The interior is in above average condition but the exterior is in need of a lot of TLC. We had her hauled and the bottom condition is better than expected. She needs to have about 9 planks replaced. This will be a labor of love to restore. The nice thing is that we can use her while doing the work. The original owner kept her in a covered berth on the California Delta. She remained there through the second owner and the third owner had her there until 2002. At that time the owner moved her to an uncovered slip in SF Bay. We plan to keep her in a covered berth back on the Delta. I looked at another Trojan 42'...1967. This poor boat had definitely seen better days. Both the interior and exterior were totally shot. She had been used as a live aboard and not known if she would even run. We feel very fortunate to have found this boat in the classifieds of a local boating magazine and consider her to be a diamond in the rough. Give us a year and she'll be gorgeous. Good luck in your search.

I purchased a 1966, Sea Voyager 42' (Old Duke) four years ago. My family and I have had some great times with it. We keep it on the Grand Lake O'the Cherokees in Northeastern Oklahoma. Just finished with some hull work this past 4 months and is now back in the water. Planning to take it out tomorrow for a winter cruise.
Just gets funner all the time.
