Hi,
I am looking for a sturdy 12m Convertible for fishing, cruising and liveaboard for a couple and I came across this forum. If somebody has some spare time I'd like to know a bit about the Trojan 12m late 80s convertible, I found one at $90k with DD 6-71s and it looks nice. What tis boat like and what cruising speed, burn rate can I expect, what are it's strenghts and weaknesses and how do they compare to 12m Hatts?

TIA

Kerry

Nice boats ride and handle well . at cruse I think you would get .7 mpg if you run at hull speed 7-9 knots you may get 1.2-1.5 mpg .
