New Trojan owner

Post by bobg »

New to the forum and wanted to say hi. I recently bought a 1988 Trojan International 12M aft cabin. Based on my research, it seemed like one of the best boats out their for our purposes in this age/price range.

I am on Lake Texoma. Lake boating is entirely different from you ocean goers! I have always wanted to do the Florida-Bahamas trip but my wife says that "her" boat is not going in salt water.

Welcome,

I'm new to forum but have been a Trojan for couple years now.
Drank the kool-aide and pinch myself every time we get out.

Interesting note...my boat was for a short time named "Lark".
It started as "SKYLARKIN", previous owner did not like it and simply removed the "SKY" and "IN", before renaming her sometime later.

Enjoy,
Ross

Welcome to the forum Ross

You are ruining a single Cummins 6BT ? I assume thats 210-220 hp . how does the boat perform ?
