The Trojan House Boat and the ( steel hull )
Posted: Mon Jun 19, 2017 5:50 pm
House boats were very popular in med to late 60's Trojan got into house boats late in the game.
Trojan started making house boats in 1968 maybe ? 1967 They made them for 4 years 1972 being the last year.
A few of the first house boats had a steel hull. After just a few of the steel hull house boats were made Trojan thought better of it and decided that steel hulls were not what they wanted to be making. Only a few of of these house boats were made.
Then came the fiberglass hull and wood top ( halfbreed ). 1969 1970
Trojan made them with V Drives, Single IO's and dual IO's
In 71/72 they were all fiberglass.
The single IO was the most popular. ( far less expensive then the twin engine options.
There were two basic models in 1971 and 1972
34' Houseboat Plan A
34' Houseboat Plan B
With Twin Walters V Drives she was advertised to do 34 MPH
We have the hull files on all the houseboats Trojan made even the odd steel hull ones.
If you have a Hull number we can provide quite a bit of information on any Trojan house boat.
You will not find much of any published info on the Trojan House boats because as one Trojan engineer put it " the Trojan house boats were a orphan child"
