Hello from St. Lucia

Hi guys. I've been following this forum for a while now trying to learn as much as possible about Trojans. My wife and I have decided it's time to buy our own boat and we've been doing a ton of research over the past year.

Being first time boat owners, I don't take the decision making process lightly so there's been lots of online research and consultation with local boat folks. My "musts and wants" combined with my findings have led me to narrow my choices down to a very select few brands with Trojan (pre-Carver) and Tiara expresses at the top of the list.

Since we're still in research mode, I don't have much to contribute at this point and I will probably continue to be relatively quiet, trying to learn as much as possible about the brand with the odd question or two here and there.

PS: I almost jumped the gun for Blackjack (13M express), but by the time I called the broker, the deal was already in progress.

You wouldn't happen to be that guy wearing the polyester liesure suit while sitting on the fly bridge in that '75 F-32 Trojan add are you?

No - hes the one with the flowered shirt and the gold medallion on the back deck ...

Fresh paint on the decks - interior wood all varnished - ready for the air show (and our Blessing of the Fleet parade next weekend).

Welcome to the only active orphan boat organization with factory support.

I believe BLACKJACK was a prize.

I've seen her but never been onboard.

If a survey is done we'll know for sure. A lot of silent damage can happen to a neglected in the water boat.

I think I'll dig out my old polyester shirt for the yacht clubs Astoria cruise next weekend so I'll be in style for my 1975 boat. As a matter of fact, I just through out my nayroo shirt and beads from the sixties. That was pretty far out. peace.
