Very new to this forum idea, but Heiner suggested I provide photos. So- thought I'd give it a try...

If nothing else, Trojan sure kept the nice lines I like so much when they moved to glass.

Thank you guys, you're too kind.
Name is Darrell Gentry, Heiner. We live in Kansas but have a house and covered dock on Grand Lake in Oklahoma (about 1600 miles of shoreline) As old age set in, my Father had to sell his 54 Bertram in St Pete and bought this Trojan. He and I got to run it together for a couple of years. I bought it from his estate in 1990.
Thought I'd send one more pic of a classic he bought new in 1957. We keep it on a lift at the lake. It is a Barracuda. Apparently was made several years in Michigan and only one year (1957) in Florida.
