Trojan Boat Forum

I have been lurking here for some time now, as I had bought a 1975 F30 'Clean Machine' at the beginning of June. I bought it in Charleston, SC and finally had it moved to St. Augustine, FL over the holiday weekend.

So, as I introduce myself, let me say this is the first big boat I have had. Many years of trailer size, but nothing like this. It needs some work, which I hope to do mostly myself, so I want to say "Thanks" in advance for all that I will be asking !

I think the boat has been repowered sometime in the past. It has PCM motors, twin Ford 351w, from what I have figured out. My first question is this: What is the proper way to reffer to these when I do post a question ? I have noticed most are reffered to by HP ratings, and I don't know what that might be on these. Thanks again !

Welcome Aboard.

Just post as much info as you have . like PCM 351 4 Barrel etc.



And welcome BTW the Clean Machine is a great boat

Welcome aboard and nice looking boat.

The 351 Ford is usually 255 or 260 HP from what I have seen and read. My Mercruisers are 255hp and they are the Ford 351 engine.

Welcome aboard. Nice to see more and more folks with Trojans they are willing to keep afloat. You won't be disappointed. Great boat.

My marine power 351 was 250 hp ands the merc was 255 . I belive merc also had a 233 hp 351 with a 2bl carb

Welcome to the forum Mike....

Welcome! Nice looking boat, best of luck with her!

Wlcome. I too have an F30 Clean Machine. 1979 with 228 Hp 305's.

Thanks for the warm welcome !

herzlich willkommen!

there's a little german lingo for ya there.

You can always depend on Tuck to throw in a little international flavor....but with a slight southern drawl

Southern Germany? y'all ....Welcome. My 351's are Merc 233hp with 2 bbl carbs. I believe 4bbl produce 255hp in the merc like prowlerfish said.
