buying a trojan 32

Post by seabird »

I am a new member of this fourm. I am looking to purchace a trojan 32 sedan. there two that look good on the internet in my area. One has low hour Crusader 454XL's and the other has low hour 360's with 275 hp. Any coments on the power choices like fuel consumption, longevity ,maintenance,common problems,performance, parts availability etc. Other things are fairly equal on the boats. Anything will help.
Thanks for the advice and coments.
happy boating

The 454 would be re-powers, so probably newr (and more cubic inches and ~350-370HP) ans is carbed (Holley 4011 series original). Ist

All depends on maint & price. Post the links ...

I think that boat should have a lot better cruising speed than 15 knots!
