I had the pleasure of meeting TF member Comodave today, he was in LA for a business engagement and he and a friend of his made the trip down to SD to take a few measurements for a project he is remotely working for his F32 in Michigan

Anyways, as expected, Dave is a very nice guy and a gentleman, it was great to finally put a face with another member here, as we Trojan owners are few and far between on the west coast

Thanks for coming down Dave it was my pleasure!

Getaway,

Thanks for your hospitality. Now I will be able to discuss the design of my cockpit hardtop intelligently with Atlantic Towers. They said that they have the blueprints and drawings of the F32, but I am glad that I could verify where the hardtop will end.

On another note, wow, what a great boat you have. I am green with envy over your engines. I would absolutely love to trade my 318's for your 6's. the fuel economy would be wonderful and the extra room in the engine compartment would be an added bonus. To the members of the forum; if you need ideas for work on your boat, check with Gettaway. He has some great stainless work on his F32. Lots of sweat and love went into his boat.

Thanks again for the opportunity to visit you in SD.

Comodave, when you say they have the blue prints and drawing for the 32 do you mean the factory blueprints? If so I would gladly pay for a copy to put in the book.

Come up north sometime and you can visit with a bunch more of us. You can stay aboard Eclipse. If you get bored I have some Mallory and Edelbrock parts that need to be fitted to the SBC's.

Somebody has to help Scott, I'm single, my kid is in college, and my parents are ancient. Think of it as a "learning oppertunity".

Doug - from your post I'm not sure if you are aware but Bob at Beacon Marine has all of the original Trojan drawings and blueprints and they are separated by a specific boat - not model, but individual boat. Each apparently had its own set of unique drawings. I spoke to him on the phone a couple years ago about getting a copy for my tri and he said I was welcome to come to where he has them, and do all the work myself to get a copy but he wasn't able to provide that service.

Since I'm an engineer I would be very interested in getting them but have not gone yet since he is so far from me.

I do not know what exactly they have in the way of blueprints, etc. when I ordered my radar arch, she said they had drawings for the F32. I have no idea if they would sell copies.
