47' Trojan in MN

Post by gitchisum »

Anyone looking for a 47 trojan, this seems to be a pretty outstanding example. I have no idea how it is priced vs what it is worth.

That thing has been for sale about 5 years. Its been posted here before at least twice that I can remember.

I think we all concluded its not what it is advertized as.

Well, I guess that's what I get for being New here!!

I went and looked at the F#'s and there is no F47. That's it, nothing at face value anymore :shock:

Nice boat from the pics though. Extensive remodeling compared to the ones I've seen. Boats always look good in pics though!

I've seen this boat in winter storage about 5 yrs ago. Its was better in person than these photos can explain. The hull was in absolute perfect condition. It had been recently caulked and grove with the most perfect top-coat applied I had ever seen. I actually walked up to it and felt the side thinking it was a glass hull that had been molded to simulate wood (so being's that its wood, its not an "F" boat, right?). Anyway, I have not seen it for few years but I have to image that they have been taking very good care of it. If you are thinking a 47' wood beauty is the right boat for you, I think its worth every penny they are asking.
