Her name is 'Tarifa' - I don't know anything about her history:

Welcome aboard.

I am jealous....I know I should be happy with my F25..but seeing some of the other boats around really gives me that urge to get a bigger "Trojan" boat.

Looks great, thanks for sharing.

Yesterday night we had a party: the first run of the starboard engine since month

We've got the Trojan whit a lot of missing parts, we have now all replaced.
(eg. carburators, ignition, exhaust manifolds and many more)

Both of these impressive engines are (or should are)
233 - (Ford 351CID 5.8L V8) 4173000 - 4902304 1977' Mercruiser

Here some impressions, when the starboard engine was back to live very late in the evening: (sorry for the quality)

Happy about running engine:

Sound is still breathtaking:

Waking up the 'beast' was impressive - but now we need your help:

Looking for detailed pictures or drawings of construction how the carburator is connected to the 'Throttle pivot' - I dont know the english word for.

We will construct our own plate to connect these stuff.

Second: The portside engine don't get any fuel - we have two gastanks with 490 liter and 200 liter. Does it is tricky to turn on any fuel line ? (we know, that this engine was'nt run for longer terms)

THANKS in advance for all your help

From the pictures, who ever the previous owners were, they sure knew how to take care of her.

Congratulations and welcome aboard.

What a cool boat! I like the aluminum arch on the flybridge.

Hello James, Sherman and Fireranger - thank you all for your compliments

BTW: The 'alloy-arche' is made from stainless-steel (but very hard to find).
This stuff must be to lie down in any way, but we'll find it out how. (look at the broken antenna).

All about the former owner is gone in the fog - may be a higher member of the army, stationed in Berlin-West before the Wall came down ?!?

At all the Trojan is in very nice condition and we will do our best to bring her in 'like-new' condition (include her both beasts in the back).

Welcome aboard. Nice boat, I bet you have lots of people admiring her when you are aboard.

The video was great, but the audio portion was kinda garbled. I could not understand what you were saying!!!
