Here are some things I've done on my F32.

Would like to see stuff other Trojan owners have done...

Nice photos, what type of paint did you use in your bilge?

Epoxy. Added silica sand for non-skid on the "catwalk" and tops of the exhaust risers, 'cause I step on them when the the hatches are open.

Thank you.

Still looking for stuff other folks have done, but no posts yet??? I thought it might be a good topic.

Hi David,

I like your bait table. Is it made from Starboard?

Also you mentioned that you use your exhaust manifolds as a step. Be careful doing this since it can cause exhaust leaks at the head over time.

On the bait table, I can't remember the letters that designate the material. I just call it "cutting board material". It easy to work with, UV stable, weldable, and never needs painting.

I used the same stuff on my swim deck, and it still looked good after 15 years, but I just replaced the swim deck with black "Seaboard", since the topsides (rubrail down to waterline) are now black. The seabaord is supposed to be even better.

WOW is that not going to get very hot on bare feet when in the sun?

Sometimes I wish it got that hot, but we're talkin' Alaska, if you know what I mean.

Very nicely done. I like the cutting board. I would like to know more about the material you used. Thanks.

Having difficulty posting images correctly. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
