Trojan Boat Forum

Yankee,
Ya RWS is the "go to guy" when you want to know anything about the International series of Trojans. He did a fine job on his and researched the history of these boats well. That said it looks like all of a sudden there are a few more International owners in our area. I'm in Erie Pa. and just bought an 11 meter. Chautauqua lake just bought a 10 meter and your a 10 meter owner. Good luck with your new ride. Keep us posted on the rigging, I'll be doing the same thing (turning a cruiser into a fishing boat) only not for hire just fun. Peter in Erie now has a tri cabin, but at one time owned a 10 or 11 meter. Maybe a great lakes get together sometime never know???

Man am I getting the four foot syndrome!

RND.....i work at the Honda dealership in Erie.....would love to get a peek at your 11 meter in the spring..... i have looked at a few and am looking....

the ones they put in the inside edge of the arch are sort of useless. I found two 24" SS handles on ebay for around $40 shipped a few months ago.

Great addition... much safer now.

The handles are nice, work well for holding on to to grab my high lines. Glad you found a great boat, I picked mine up last spring off of an inland lake with zero set up for fishing so starting from scratch this is how I rigged mine out last year for Lake Superior, I have run 23 lines out of her with this set-up and certain I could have at least 4 more. The rocket launcher is a must for holding lines out of the way.







Since these pics I have added a track down the shoot for banging bottom with balls for lake trout.

I use the inside the arch handles when boarding form the side. I have steps as my inflatable si usually over the transom. I addded two stanless rod holders to the side handles as well. I don't have pictures but will have to take some later.

I like to rocket launchers, but my canvas attaches at the rear fo the arch, making these impractical.

Hey. You should have 10'ers fever , wait day you'll have to go get rid of a beer and have a choice of which head to use
