Trojan Boat Forum

i have owned alot of boats over the years
the weekenders or express cruisers were
2 searays
1 crownline
1 chris craft
all nice boats but im ready for a change
we spend almost every weekend on the water and come monday my back is broke
ready for that big leather recliner with the a/c vent pointed directly at me

Good luck with the project.......you will have a nice boat.

8lug I did the express to sedan change myself. I did go up inside which makes a difference, but wouldn't go back. The way we use the boat, the salon is part of the mix, and not having to navigate a smaller door and steps down for guests was a huge plus!

Post up some Trojan pics that you have!

Very excited. Cant wait to get her home
Im from tennessee. So if i mispelled any words now ya know why !
I grew up on ky lake tn river. Sad to say. But boating has taking a nose dive where im from
I remember seeing all those big boats tied together every weekend when i was younger.
Now the waters just seem a bit empty.
I have over 100 photos. But WARNING it looks like a bomb went of in her
Here is home

Ill get the rest later. Ipads owner is not working rite now
I know i have it in me to do the job. Just gotta remeber not to rush
Everything will not be new on her,if i can find like new and used im ok with that
Not trying to win any trophys
Controlls,horns,rod holders are green and need replaced
Those i dont have,and will have to buy new

here is a few more pictures to look at






i have a lot more if anyone is interested

we are always interested in photos. she looks ok from the photos, definitely in need of some tlc

everything has got to be redone
i think he was a heavy smoker






its going to be a long process,im thinking at least a year and a half









these 2 went with us on the trip to get all the loose stuff off the boat






they have a





disorder

here is a few things i have had sitting around











i have piles of new stuff from new brass thru hulls to wood flooring
but like i said its going to be a "bottoms up"

and if you're lucky, fittings, a couple of new engines and gears, sanitation system, electrical and a couple of shaft logs.

Seems like the dogs don't look very happy about all of this.

Maybe they'd be happier on a Trojan International ?



RWS

keeping my fingers crossed on engines he has it logged when the motors were rebuilt showing about 100 hrs
he claimed that all 3 was done at same time.but no paper work to back it up.so planning on pulling and rebuilding them, but if they have good compression

but the risers,elbows,and,swivels need replaced

shafts appeared ok ,with a couple new ones tucked under the salon floor

i have all new brass thru hulls and will be replacing shut offs as needed

electrical seems ok also, but looks can be deceiving

sanitation will get a lot of attention
i plan on installing water/holding tank monitors if the old ones dont work rite

eventually we may have all hardware replaced and the boat painted

as far as the pups are concerned there only happy when eating chicken and chasing it with cookies
