i have a 75 f30. love the boat and have done alot of refinishing work on the inside. removed the flybridge, foamed and 'glassed over all the holes in the roof. next on the agenda is bottom paint and other cosmetic things but i just sealed the deal on a 78 f32 so i'm kinda at a cross roads.

I have a 1972 F30 Flybridge Sea Raider. Previous owner did a complete refit so all systems, controls and electronics are early 2000's. I love this boat !

BTW a F30 and Sea Raider are diffrent boats The Sea Raider Had a glass hull with wood top sides the F30 was glass top and bottom . Both boats were great just diffrent

chauzer Good lock with the new boat you will like the F32

thanks! i like the wider beam and the engines were rebuilt in 2004. the only downfall is it has been sitting since fall of 2005. the engines were taken care of for storage and they do turn over with a breaker bar but i didnt get to here them run. the rest of the boat is like brand new and i couldn't pass on the price! thanks for clearing up the clean machine thing i thought those were called the sportfish.

Paul,

Thanks for clearing up the F32/Clean-Machine versus 30' Sea Raider?

Where did the name "Clean Machine" come from? The layout looks nice.

no. i have an f30 also, and its NOT a clean machine. after prowlerfish posted the pics now i know what a clean machine is.
never heard them called "clean machine" before.

Ditto, thanks for clearing up the "Clean Machine" confusion. My F30 is a clean machine but it's not a "Clean Machine"....... there are some major differences...........nice boat, ENJOY!

Whoops, after re-reading prowlerfish's post I guess I don't have an F30 either but a 30 Foot Sea Raider. Prowler fish is correct, glass hull and wood topside........

I think its due to its clean lines .Not from being clean ( mine was a dirty Clean machine ) ,

Trojan build a lot of 30 foot boats from the wood boats to the sea raiders and the F30 to te last F30 that was a totaly diffrent boat it even had a salon here is the last stlye F30

But it did not end there . The last 30 ft trojans were the 9 meter

I always thought that the 9m was an I/O. That one has twin inboards according to the specs. Nice boat

prowlersfish · Post by **prowlersfish** » Sat Sep 05, 2009 7:32 pm

I heard they had a i/o also guess they came both ways . They sure had a lot of diffrent 30 foot boats and we havent even touched on the wooden boats . all there diffrent boats all nice and I would not mine owning any one of them .How may boat brands can you say that about ??
