If Google Translate got it right : Ich freue mich, dass Sie Fortschritte machen. Herzlichen Glückwunsch.

If it didn't, this is what it is supposed to say : I am happy that you are making progress. Congratulations!

Google has made a good job - this time :D

Thank's for congratulations ! And I'm feel very welcome here by this feedback.
Never any one tried this before (exept striperman).

Unfortunally here in Germany is no other Trojan F-32 for sharing experiences.

You are welcome here Heiner. My grandfather & grandmother immigrated from Germany so I grew up hearing German from my grandparents - usually when my twin brother and I had done something wrong.

Anyway, my last name is Hoehn with an umlaut over the o. Nobody in this, country pronounces it correctly and we have Americanized the pronunciation rather than try to correct everyone.

I, for one, enjoy reading how Trojan owners in other countries use their Trojan.

Thanks for the photos - nice looking boat.

Very Good Progress

Post by TADTOOMUCH »

Heiner,

Very good progress on your F-32. I am also the product of German immigrants to Canada and then to the United States.

My last name is Shouldice which is the Canadian version of Schultheiss which is the correct and origin of my last name.

You may be familiar with the Pilsner beers from Schultheiss Brewery near Berlin. My father visited there a few years ago.

Maybe that is where I got my love of beer from. I have been a home brewer of beer for many years.

Sehr gute Arbeit

WOW ! What a warm welcome tonight :D :D :D

Thank you very much !

Our engine specialist (esp. ChrisCraft) was here the whole day to work.
I just have been at the vessel after work, realizing his progress.

4 new batteries are installed and reconnected. Power is aboard.
Both main-switches for the batteries have to be changed.

Plus: both engines started easily and were running smooth. Portside with whithe clouds.

Minus: no cooling at portside (impeller/water pump ??), both gastanks 100 gals. (one 1/2 full, second 1/4) have old yellow-coloured gasoline.
To use this will block the carburators. :(

Tought about to fill the yellow soup from 1/4 tank in to the other,
(until recycling) close all ciciuts tho that and fill some fresh gas into the other (does it works?)

Hi Tom, yes I know that special Berlin beer called Schultheiss.
One of my inner friends is Achim Haase (google him) he was the Schultheiss-Logo man in the 70'ies.

New orders fom the specialist: We will fulll up both tanks with high octane (100) gasoline to mix up that yellow sauce. Starboard tank gas is in much better condition. To recycle that old stuff is much more expensive than to mix it up with new gas.

I installed new flags in front and back and was working at the anchor, pictures will follow ...

PS: I was invited for a test cruise by our specialist with a 1992'er Sea Ray Weekender - first run since more than five years. This 35" yacht was screaming her power around the hole lake and the engines were very smoothy @ 4.300 u/pm :D

Was a great day with our specialist - learned a lot and next friday I will have to pass my boating-exame.

OK guys - I really dont know if you have to pass any exame to ride your boat.
In Germany we have to pass this - and today I have got this :D

I am now officially licensed to drive (or steer) a boat until 49 feed without any horsepower restriction. Ready to enjoy our F-32 :)
