Don't see these very often. Doug, do you have info on these? Wonder if we should copy some pics, suspect the link will eventually be invalid.

Not too many around. One of them is fished out of Port Credit.

These guys http://www.andrewscharter.ca/gallery-it ... d=10&did=6

They say 52', but that is probably including platform and pulpit.

Big D, I have a factory photo and the layouts, could use more. Btw it is not your normal sport fish layout below. When I get back to the states (and have faster Internet) ill post the layout so you can see what I mean. Paul I could really use the boat test and I'll pm you when I get back Or you can send it to trojanbook@bellsouth.net. Thanks.


BTW, I don't think Mitch even owns a Trojan, let alone a f44, but I have been wrong before :shock:

I like the 44 a lot. I think I have said so every time it has come up. What a great boat.

Its like a Lance Armstrong version of the 32 or 36, but with a whole lot more honesty and integrity. :shock:

Check this one out in Trinidad. I don't think they got the model right though (talking about the boat). They've done some nice work inside.

Nice refit, yucky color. Total bummer. I'd love me a 14m, but I'd probably have to stick it over on the Champlain Canal. Otherwise I'd be like that dork with the 54 Bluewater or one of the guys with the 48C Vikes. Just too much boat for this lake IMO. The canal? Another story. You can go from RWS's dock to lawyerdave's dock if you use the canal.

Over 100 right?

Give it a few more years. They will be 50 or 60. Decent ones are 75-85 right now.

Yeh its entirely possible if things truly start to pick up a little and just not a month here and there, but real sustained growth.

Its the age of these boats that will really start to work against them soon. We'll have to see how the used market settles a little after the washout from Sandy. That also could have a tremendous impact on the supply side of the equation, at least along the east coast.
