I agree 50/50 with you on the interior finishes compared to the Trojan, our F-32 lacked any sort of joinery, but it had a lot of wood on the interior , which I prefer to any sort of upholstery or wall coverings. However, as with any boat I can afford, there will always be a trade off.
No need to appologize for the typo, I'm just particular with the Silverton changes over the years. I'm sure the Trojan guys are the same way.
The interior on yours looks really nice! Btw I've done a bit of work to mine, and that green hull color should come back and look really sharp.
After visiting the boat show a couple weekends ago, I can say that new boats don't hold a candle to old ones when it comes to cabin wood work. It's now all shiny wood looking plastic. Not a lot of real wood until you start dropping big money.
I haven't been chased off this site yet being a Silverton owner, and assume with all your previous Trojan history, you will be more than always welcomed!
If your interested in the Silverton Owners Forum, let me know, it's a good place!

My buddy had an '84 34C, looked basically the same. He ran the crap out of that boat. He had it forever too, I'd say at least 15 seasons. He definately got his moneys worth from it.
Good luck with the survey. I look forward to seeing some more pics, and hearing more about it.

Congrats Scott. Hope things work out in your favour. After all, what really matters here is what makes you happy when you're out on the water. As far as sticking around here, I expect you to fulfil your duties as recently endorsed by your constituents All kidding aside, remove the OEM emblems, and what you're left with are vessels that share the same systems. Sure each vessel make has its quirks, but an answer on how to repair a toilet or engine will typically apply to all, and I for one welcome your future enquiries, input, and hope/look forward to being a part of your next project. So stick around, please.

Hey ProwlerFish - Best of luck with your new ride. You've been such an enthusiastic supporter of this forum and if this means you will be commenting less, you will be missed. I'm sure like with any new boat, there will be a bunch of bugs that will need working out, then once you get it the way you want it, you'll have a lot of the fun that a new boat brings. Congrats.
