Trojan Boat Forum

I am new here and looking at my first Trojan. It is a 1983 44'Sportfish built my Mr Warnike it has twin 6-71 diesels in it. Can anyone give me any info on these boats. I know this is a pro Trojan website but may be spending a lot of money so the good and bad would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jerry

I have never seen one and I think buying a clean model from the market with diesels, is rare. I have some specs on her but that's it...

Do you have a link with some pics and owner specs?
Mr Warnike doesn't sound familiar... Do you mean Mr. Warner?

Sir thanks for your response. The boat is listed on yachtworld. The listing says the boat is a Trojan/Warnike so I ask the agent what the Warnike meant and he had no clue. Well after a further search I found the son of Mr Warnike who told me his father built about 5 of these boats for Trojan using there specs he also built some other boats for them. That is about all the info I got from him but he did say it was a Trojan boat. Any info you have would be greatly appreciated as the listing agent does not even have a displacement for the boat.
Thanks,
Jerry

Here are some specs I do have for the MY. Thought I had SF specs, although the hull and specs should be close. I have no displacement info but it does look heavy as the ad says. I've included the link for the YW listing.

Thanks Stripermann,
I hope to get up there in a week or so to look at the boat. What do you think of the price seems fair to me if everything gets a clean bill of health. Also it looks like your specs are for a non turbo motor is that correct.

the listed boat specs 18 knot cruse and 24 knot top with the 485hp 671 that sounds about right maybe 2 knots slower then I would guess

You can buy the original "Trojan F-44 1978 Yachting Test Color copy many photos 4 pages Color copy $15.00"

(Pictures removed, since they were the MY, not the rare SF model).

Thanks rossjo but that is not the boat at all this is a sportfish or convertable.

jarhead, this is a very rare model that was made in the elkton maryland plant alongside the f-44 flush deck motor yacht. not a lot were produced as most people wanted the flush deck model. if this one is in good shape and the pictures on yachtworld.com do her justice, you would have a fantastic example of this vessel. go look her over and offer a fair price.
she looks like she was taken care of cosmetically and mechanically, but of course, only a survey would tell.

I have the F44 Motor yacht and love it, you will too

Nice looking boat - is that a hoist on the front deck?

Love that boat. I've mentioned another 44 sportfish that was for sale up in Canada on here before. The eisenglass was probably on when they tested it...will slow it down a couple knots.

I like the small keel, the cockpit set-up and the flybridge helm are superb. The teak and holly floors are great, good teak work in the galley and from what I can see the windows haven't leaked. Pretty sweet.

What a perfect boat for me! I tell you what, if you buy it and don't like it you can just bring it down to my house and we'll work something out!

The trojan hull designs are very good...back then they were tops. Several manufacturers would buy hulls from Trojan and do their own build-out. Not to mention the hulls are 7 layers of good glass, so the other builders wouldn't have to worry about ticked-off customers. But I can't remember what companies used Trojan hulls....Uniflight maybe...there's a few.

That's a sweet boat - like it more as I look at the pics. Let us know if you don't buy it so we can start sniffin' around!

rossjo that is a host on the front deck are those usually electric or manual. I am flying up to see the boat one day next week I will let you guys know what I find for any feedback.

Don't call it a hoist! It's a Davit...someone will think you're a damn landlubber!
