Trojan F25 New Owner/Progress
Posted: Fri Oct 10, 2014 4:19 pm
Hello everyone,
I wanted to make a introduction before I start browsing the boards for further information on my old, but new to me 1973 Trojan F25 that I just acquired named Bankers Hours. This thread is a introduction along with progress pictures of the boat and everything that I've done showing a before and after.
End of the season for most of us in the New England area so I feel that I got a deal that I couldn't pass up. She runs, but needs work inside and out, but how many boats of this age don't? The engine was rebuilt about 5 years ago, sat for 2, and ran for the last 2 seasons. Original owner had the boat for 32 years until the 2nd owner bought it 2 years ago or so. Came with electronics such as Garmin GPS, Depth finder and StS radio. Along with the original manual, title and paperwork.
The boat is still in the water until today or tomorrow. Once it's out of the water I'll spend the next upcoming weeks tearing the interior down before it gets wrapped for the rest of the winter. I plan to have a zipper so I can work on it when the weather permits.
To end this.. yesterday's cruise before she got docked.
