Hi Graham, Welcolm aboard and nice looking boat. I am located in Southern Georgian Bay. Should you venture through the top end of the Trent look us up at Bay Moorings Marina in Penetanguishene. You will see there are many Trojans throughout our area. A result of Dawsons in Keswick having been a Trojan dealer for many years. Have a great boating season.
Regards, Jim.

Thanks guys!!!
I'm not a stranger to the Trojan Boats or Meter boats for that matter.
My family has had the following;
1975 F32
1985 10 Meter Express Aft-Cabin
1987 11 Meter Express
1991 12 Meter Express
To answer a few questions;
She's powered by twin 454 Crusaders
Not too sure on a name yet
So far I have installed Lumitec Underwater LED's and my Raymarine E90W is scheduled to be installed tomorrow sometime!!!

Hello Graham - and very welcome here in our gang
Does your vessel real have this wide beam ?!?
Looks very comfortable - but not easy docking.
Our (F-32) beam is 13 foot - what's yours ?
Thank's for the pictures in right size
