1980 Trojan 38 Fly
Just curious, has anyone ever seen a Trojan with a swim deck like this?

36 fly but never a 38. Not one that looks like that. Need to see a side view of boat.

Re: 1980 Trojan 38 Fly
unless someone took a Trojan hull and made a custom boat out of it ,that is no Trojan .

Re: 1980 Trojan 38 Fly
I wondered the same thing but when I looked at the pictures of the salon it looked too wide to be an F30. To your earlier point, if it's a Trojan at all, it's a heavily customized one. I'll be curious to hear what the broker replies with.

Re: 1980 Trojan 38 Fly
The front berth and the front portion of the bridge exterior look suspiciously Trojanesque.

Re: 1980 Trojan 38 Fly
There are some very Torjan looking things about the boat, the head vanity, the helm console, the V-berth hull panels, hmmmm

Re: 1980 Trojan 38 Fly
Rebuild after sinking or fire?
I do agree some of the parts are Trojan (including transom light), but foredeck and salon appear to be a one-off design, and the way the "300" is scripted on the side of the hull is more SeaRayish...

Re: 1980 Trojan 38 Fly
Yeah that is an 80 F30. Heavily customized - must be nice to have the dough and time to do that. Personally, I'd just buy a bigger boat!

Re: 1980 Trojan 38 Fly
The broker is going to get me the hull numbers from the owner.
