Trojan Model...do you know?

Post by Stripermann2 »

A year or two back, there was guy who had a Trojan meter boat at our marina. I don't know what model it was though and curiosity has gotten to me. I'll try and describe it.

About 33' in length and the back half of it (aft cabin) was a cabin with windows, no flybridge. Sort of like an express but not... :roll: If I recall correctly, above the aft cabin perhaps there were sunpads on top?

I really have no idea what model it was but perhaps if I saw a picture, I would know it. Maybe someone here owns one? Just curious to their popularity.

It was reposessed...

10 meter International series aft cabin model.

This was available as an express (pictured in the link from Willietrojan) and as a flybridge model as well.

The aft cabin has it's own entrance, it's own head and is under AC.

The 10 Meter's 13' beam madethis kind of accomodation available where sleeping accomodations could be increased to 8 +

Being on the boat isn't about how many can sleep, but how they can comfortably interract and enjoy whatever activity is at hand.

There is a HUGE amount of spacevnder the cockpit sole in the 10 meter express. The designers killed the single 242 fueltank and set two smaller tanks outboard, allowing the floor in that area to be lowered signifcantly and creating a tremendous amount of room.

Great for sleeping, but what would all of those people do while awake?

It was not a very popular model.

That's the model! Oh my... :roll:

What were they thinking??? No offense to anyone who may own one but it sort of takes away from the whole idea of BEING on the water and enjoying what's outside of the boat...

I could go on and on but I won't!

Thanks for the info everyone!
