If it's wood...it's not an F36. The F denotes fiberglass. I'm not sure when Trojan started producing the F series. Early 70s for sure...

Very good chance it says 36 SF not F36 I would think if its glass the would say so . Call and ask.

aD SAYS 36 sf BUT YEAR IS '71.

Glass hull and wood superstructure perhaps? Seems to be around the right year for the transition from wood to glass.

They made a wood 36 well before the glass F36 , I believe 1971 was the year of change on the sportfish last year of wood anyway the tri was glass in 71 maybe even 70 ?

Not 100% positive on this

If it really is a '71 it will be glass hull. The tri cabin was made from 70-87, early models had wood superstructure and teak decking. The F36 didn't show up until '72 (built until '89), and I don't think it ever had a wood deck (cockpit maybe, but that's about it).

To be a woodie 'sport fish' model (the old Sea Raider or Sea Skiff model lines I think), it would be a '69 or earlier (and look a lot like Big D's boat).

I belive they made a 36 Wood sport fish in 71 ( found 2 listed ) if the listing are correct that is

Not impossible... just think '69 is the 'newest' one I have ever seen. Maybe we can get Beacon Bob to pipe in with what he knows?

I will send him a email , there was a common practice by boat dealers an builders years ago where a new boat sitting on a dealers yard was relabeled to current year so a boat made in say 1970 could have been sold as a 1971 or even a 1972 or newer , o that could explain a 1971 wood even if they stopped in 1969

Trojan began phasing out wooden boats in 1969 when Whittaker bought them out. It took them several years, however ...

In 1971 - the only "F" boats were the F-26 and F-31.
> 36' Sea Voyager Sedan was wooden
> 36' Sea Raider Tri-Cabin was fiberglass with teak decks
http://RNR-Marine.com/Trojan/Trojan-Specs-1971.jpg

In 1972, the fiberglass F-36 was introduced in 2 models:
> F-36 Tri-Cabin and
> F-36 Sport Cruiser
http://RNR-Marine.com/Trojan/Trojan-Specs-1972.jpg

In 1973, the
> F-30 Sport Fisherman,
> F-32 Sport Fisherman and
> F-32 Sedan
were introduced, while the
> "F-36 Sport Cruiser" was renamed "F-36 Sport Fisherman" and
> "F-25" replaced the "F-26"

Paul - what did you hear on this boat? Its only 4 hours from here.

If its fiberglass, I may go look at it (maybe I can talk Larry into going with me).

Some websites corrupt the numbers and scramble them...that's why they spell it out. I think to control spam...
