Trojan Boat Forum

okay, i was looking at the gmag website and the rebuilt trojans..... if you look very carefully, you will see they did refits on not one, but two trojans.
one is an f-32 of probably 1972 to 1976 vintage (the console is a dead givaway) as is the back deck, the other rebuild was of an f-36 sedan....
the one with the galley up and fishing rods in the salon area is a rebuilt f-36, the other with the galley down configuration is an f-32. if you all look close enough at the f-32 dinette area, you will see they removed the slider window shades from the ''port lights''. my partner and i did this very thing two weeks ago and i cannot tell you how much more light removing those sliders has let in. it was one of the easiest things to do by the way.
anyway, look again at the website......the rebuilds were of two different trojans.

Sweet!

Couldn't find the GAMG brochure, but did find some additional images that I collected back in 2003! Hope these show up reasonably... Don't really show off v-berth that much, but do give different camera angle on some of the other mods.

if you look at the dinette shot, notice that the original slider shades have been removed. phil and i did this a few weeks ago on ours and the look is amazing on the inside. the amount of light they let in w/ out the half shade is great. its really easy to do as well. the table will be redone like the one in the picture. i found an RV store near me that sells them for around 20 bucks as opposed to hundreds from a marine supply store. and yes, i would love to have our old formica table redone like the one in the ''redo''. maybe later. i do have a question though that maybe some of you can answer.... how does one obtain access to the engines and genset with all that clutter in the salon? does every item move around? i would think the entertainment centre is bolted to the cabin sides.

with regards to the first boat on this posting...what is the exposed hose,looks like an upside down letter J on the bulkhead in the head?any ideas?

looks to me like a 'crappy' way to plumb the waste line to the holding tank! Ruins an otherwise nice looking redo.

Re access to engines etc in the GAMG boat - the entertainment centre doesn't really protrude too much into the salon - it only sticks out about a foot and the TV is recessed back into the (normal) side cupboard. If you look at the "Before and After" pics on the GAMG site, the openings over the engines don't look symetrical, so looks like they rebuilt the salon floor and cut the starboard hatch down a few inches.

Re the J shaped hose in the head for the first boat in the posting - looks like the "vented loop" to me... so yes, they took an easy out on the plumbing.

Heres another one

i love how it is kept on a travel lift at dockside. thats amazing. i would love to be able to do something like that for my f-32 to help dry her out from time to time and minimize slime on the water line.

SWEET interior ... http://www.gamg.ca/gallery.html

My wife is ready to start!







Great head!

Well now I know where I'm getting my next boat! When it's time to do everything over again I'll ship it to them

hey matt, i sent them an email a few weeks ago about that very thing. they responded with the following....''we did those trojans about 4 years ago, and, while it was interesting, we no longer refurbish vessels of any kind. we fully intend on staying with our core business of business jet interiors. thank you for your interest." oh well, i think they could have branched out here in the states but who am i to say what they want to do.
matt, i think you and i should go into the business, how about it? i would love to get a bunch of people together on this forum and start something like that. i figure we have enough talent with mechanical, electrical, structural and interior we could really do something.
since more and more are refurbishing than buying, it might be a good idea.
just thought i would put it out there.

THAT interior had to cost a LOT! It is perfect - comparable to some high dollar "money is not object" boats I've seen!

To battle the cold, my wife, dog and I watched some great offshore footage we've captured over the years ... fun!

Definately set up for fishing. It is a nice clean looking boat and the refitting of the others is phenominal.

Hi Aaron,
Well I guess another good idea goes down the drain.....guess I'm going to have to get that gulfstream I always wanted. Starting a business sounds like a good plan, refurb is definitely the way to go. Everyone at my marina doesn't believe me when I say its my first and last boat. Just going to keep regutting it from time to time. At least I know what I've got.
