You boat looks great, I know exactly where you have the boat, my wife and I visit the little diner from time to time, just around the marina from your slip.
You have done a great job, I'm hesitant to meet up with you as our F-32 is still in the need of cosmetics!
Clearly you have an eye for what could be done with what you started with and where you went.
Congrats !

Just stumbled across this thread as I am a new member to the forum. All I can say is "are you friggin kidding me?" Awesome - Awesome work! I wish I had the patience, determination, ambition, and skill set that you have.
It's truly an inspiration for all owners of this no longer produced brand. It's great to have a great network and informational portal like this forum. Thanks for keeping this brand alive and well!!

Congratulations!
welcome to the forum. if there is one group out there that is truly passionate about 'the brand', it's us trojan owners. we keep our ladies alive and well. some have more funds than others, but, by and large, it's a group that knows what we have. the classic looks, the room onboard, the hand rubbed teak, all make for a great vessel. i love when folks from my marina step aboard my tri cabin and say, ''wow. look at the teak and the amount of room on this.'' that's why we love our trojans.

Thanks guys, much appreciated. I haven't been spending too much time on the boat lately due to weather and busy stuff. The new carbs sure did make a great improvement though!
Anyways, thought I'd give you guys a sneak peek on something I've been working on. I designed some really cool LED lights. I wanted some spreader lights but also have them dimable but couldn't find any. So I learned about LED's and designed my own. These things put out a tremendous amount of light at 1,500 lumins each. I will have 4 of them as spreaders which will basically light up the whole marina! I'm also going to put 2 green ones on my trim tabs for underwater lights.
For reference, the lights are only @ 2.5" in diameter!
Below are a couple of pics of the first one I've assembled. Cool huh?

Talk to us about the carbs. Explain "great improvement." We put 600+ hours on ours a year chartering/fishing tournaments on Lake Ontario. We run all over the lake fishing tourneys, and 3 hour runs happen when locating to a new port. If you did see that big of a performance enhancement that would pay for itself in 1-3yrs I'd be interested.
The Edelbrock's provided for much better idle, smoother running and greatly improved fuel economy (for me at least). I wrote the numbers down and I think I talked about them in a thread somewhere but I can't find it now.
