A Trojan F-54 at house boat row Key West

summer storm · Post by **summer storm** » Tue Nov 24, 2009 7:19 pm

The wife and I were looking at the house boats in Key West when I come across a F-54, that has seen better days, note the house AC and the "door" to the wheel house. I have always wanted one of these and I think they didn't make to many 54's

I've never heard of a 54 either. Is that plastic lattice surrounding the cockpit? Effective sunshade for sure, but....

I think they(Trojan) only offered them for a few years in the late 70's. Looks like the current owner has really screwed this one up big time!! Too Bad

I wonder what it's sea keeping abilities are?

Looks like a glorified liveaboard right now.

There are two 1977 Trojan 54 footers for sale in the Netherlands. Both look to be identical to this boat and both seem in good condition with the less expensive one seeming in better overall condition. At only $254,000 or $239,00 I think I'll fly over and drive one home. Should be home by Christmas. Anyone want to first mate?

Looks like a really nice Trojan model.
