it's how we roll buddy. i think what makes this site better than most is the absolute total devotion we have for this brand. not sure why, but i think trojan owners are just a cut above when it comes to how we love our boats. that's not to say other owners of other makes are not, but, i think we share a special passion. in honor of those that built these vessels, i don't think any of them thought these ladies would be around, much less so lovingly cared for so far from the production date. just look around and see how many were brought back from the dead, only to live again and provide enjoyment for that single person, that couple and that family. the one thing i love about showing off the tri cabin to other boat owner is seeing the look of surprise when they see the vast amounts of teak, the cozy cabins, the shine when she is polished up and the room inside. i cannot tell you how many people think the boat is not 36' in length. like i tell them. trojan excelled at putting a lot of boat in a little foot print. and talk about trend setting.... the international series sparked and entire industry of copy cats.

aaron.... passionate trojan owner.

We really are very lucky to have not just a bunch of knowledgeable folks here, but just all around good people who are always willing to help both technically and on a personal level as well with no expectation of getting anything in return. That's passion, and kind of rare these days.

And Me. I'm on here every day, and as much as I've been around boats and working on them, I learn something here on a daily basis. One should never think that what they have to contribute is insignificant, there will always be someone out there that was not aware of something before you penned it. Even those with years of experience tend to forget the littlest things and can appreciate a new way of doing something. And where would we be without those who ask the questions? My hats off to everyone; it's what makes this such a great place and family.
