Thanks, unfortunately, the PO did all this work so I have no details, other than pics. The PO planned on keeping this boat forever and did a great job of documenting the refit. He spent 5 years and $35K+(have receipts) then found a bigger boat.....my gain and his loss........refit included... motors, 120 amp alternator, Heart inverter/charger, fuel tanks, fresh water system, Morse motor controls, fly bridge and lower helm, all new gauges top and bottom, all paint, total rewire, all wood refinished, h2o heater, all fabric and window coverings, and may be best of all....full canvas, fly-bridge Bimini, and inclosed rear deck........and lots more.......I'm a happy camper..............John

Great find! I know that I have some work to do to get to the point where I'm satisfied with my Trojan, but for the most part I'm pretty happy with it so far. We purchased it in 2010 and have had some good use, but there are a few things that I'd really like to change / sort-out. I know that the PO was not handy at-all, so there are a few things lacking for sure. Nothing that I can't manage tho with time and money..and more money..and more money! We really like our Trojan and it's worth every penny and minute spent on her.

I need to replace all of the engine/tranny cooling lines next, then I think that doing some re-wiring updating of some of the electrical system is next on my list.

Great looking boat BTW.
