I hava a 1991 f322 and was wondering if trojan went out of business before 1992 Hulls were established. Supposedly my 91 was the last boat commissioned before the doors close. The last owner stated it was the last 322 that came down the production line. That could of been a bad thing. The power boat guide states the demise of trojan happened in 1992. I never saw any trojans later than 91 on the internet or in person. Your input would be greatly appricated.
There are tales or stories out there where trojan sold some hulls to people with out the superstructure. Supposedly the cut up all of there molds with chain saws to eliminate any reprouduction.
I know for sure lancaster made f32's and heard from a old factory worker that the internationals came from the elkton plant. What about the other models

Genmar (carver) bought Trojan in 1992 & closed the Lancaster plant & moved the assets to Pulaski, WI. They built "Trojan By Carver" for a couple years & then killed the brand.
It is my understanding that part of that deal required thge destruction of the International molds, an issue that had to do with the rights to the patented Delta Conic Hull. I do not know anything about the F series status after the sale.
Trojan (by Carver) produced a luxury express cruiser from Pulaski, WI in the 1990's and strongly promoted the brand and logo.
I am not aware of any F series vessels produced under the Carver flag, and with the remaining parts and service left in Lancaster, it seems to me that Carver ended up only with the rights to the name, logo and legacy.
We ended up with an orphaned brand.
That, specifically is the most important reason to keep thios web site alive, as otherwise there is precious little support for our brand.
It is also important that we support Beacon Marine (the sponsor of this site) and Marine Tech as they are all that remains to support our brand specific parts and information needs.

I know someone who has a 'custom' 36... the story behind it has been that someone bought the empty hull, built custom interior, decking, and superstructure. It kind of looks like a boxy sedan.
I also understood that all F series molds were destroyed.
