The V breth inserts were not that strong and may have broken . Also some floks don't like them ad may have gotten rid of them but there easy to make . Just mesure your opening and cut one out of plywood . that all I did on my f30 you can also make a template from the opening . But if you find a 32 with one it may be easier .

Aaron, you can stop by our boat anytime after 6 AM. The first thing I do is put the coffee on. You bring the donuts.

They're all worth looking at Paul. We can all learn something from everyone else. There is no such thing as a worst Trojan. They're all beautiful, even if they are in need of makeup.

okay guys, looks like i will have to share some of my knowledge and skills in environmental interior design. while i have not done a complete interior remake, i have done quite a bit with refurbishing the wood work, framing out the carpet above the engines (instead of tucking the carpet) and sharing some knowledge with an owner of a large silverton that is getting cold shoulder from 'the wife' with the lack of galley space and the nasty cook top that was original to the boat. i looked at the design, sketched out something and now they are doing a galley refit, and the wife is very pleased that more than just one idea was floated her way. you will be amazed at what new hardware and bronze screws can do for the interior of a trojan, or a carver, or a silverton. the great thing about a trojan is that all the interior wood is removable and not bunged. simply unscrew, redo, then reinstall. i removed the slider shades in the dinette area and you would be amazed at the improved amount of natural light that enters that area.
i'd be happy to assist during the rendez vous if anyone wants help. now, how about that v-berth insert template?

Well, you haven't seen my F36. This spring I recored the front deck. Once I got it to the harbor the work stopped. My forward state room is pilled with tools and supplies. It is still gutted with no hull or head liner. I'll get to it sometime, but for now I close the door.

Gerry,

Sounds like the inside of my boat, tools, boxes, dinette half piled with stuff, etc. Don't feel bad guys, happens to all of us.

Hi all. I wish i could make the trip. I brought my boat back from NJ. I came out of Barnnegette bay back to boston. Nice ride but expensive. Hope you have a great time. If this goes on every year i will start putting away for it now.

It looks as though we will be driving (via car) over to St. Michaels. Spent a lot of time there in my youth with my cousins, as they lived there year round.

Hopefully, our other Trojan friends are coming also.
Looking forward to meeting everyone and seeing your boats. Also, gotta have a cold one over at Carpenter Street Saloon...neat little watering hole. 8)
