Trojan Boat Forum

Hi Blair great pics, I am still there. I am tied at the end of the gas dock in the little inlet, the current was very strong in the channel and the docks are not in yet so Keith and I thought the inlet would be the best spot to tie up, I had Steve come up with his trailer on Saturday April 16, I wan...

I removed the stove from boat 3 weeks ago, waxed the hull last week and bottom paint last week and launched on Saturday April 16, if anyone needs a princess stove I have one available everything works perfect on it.

I am not sure how they come off my 1977 F 32, but on my F 26 the part off the wiper that slides onto the wiper motor spindle had a small set screw on the bottom that was used to tighten the wiper arm to the motor, so look around the part you are trying to take off for a small screw, if found loosen ...

Sorry gordd for hijacking this thread but this is all relevant to you also. You guys have given me something to really think about, we never leave the genny running when we go to bed ever, but there are other safety factors to think about, and I greatly appreciate all of your input, that is why this...

Your opinion is very valid, and yes this is extremely dangerous if not used right. I have 2 co detectors one in bedroom and one in the salon not cheap ones, the genny is right up at the front next to the anchor pulpit exhaust is facing out towards the lake , hatches are closed, with it sitting up fr...

Hoping to remove tarp end of march, add swim platform door, install new swimplatform wood, already cut, stained ready to be installed, having a cockpit bimini top installed no sides just want top, touch up bottom paint, paint hull stripe, buff hull then hope to launch first week of May for another g...

Thanks for the confirmation Jimbo36 and for the offer bigdave603 but I think I can handle it, but if you are near come on over when I do it. Prowler so sorry for the canadian language will look for my American dictionary lol, my boat does not have a taft rail, my F26 did, but we like it without the ...

I agree, generator is the way to go, last year I bought a Honda 2000 inverter gererator, I sit it up on the bow on a piece of 1/2" plywood, plug the shore power into it and the whole boat is live, this generator is really quite, light and easy to carry. fridge, microwave, t.v., d.v.d player, li...

Ok Paul come on up and make the first cut then I am committed as you say lol, do you have a picture of the door when it is closed, also I like how you have the taft rail that is hindged and closes on top, again thanks for the input.

That is exactly it my wife has a hard time getting on and off the swim platform an accident waiting to happen, we use it alot, would like a ladder but the old style where the ladder to get out of the water onto the swim platform folds up to the boarding ladder made of teak, I have been looking for q...

That looks awesome Paul, did you use the inner and outer skins you cut out to make the door, what did you use the pipe for, I can believe the first cut is the hardest, but man what an addition

I was thinking of cutting out a swim platform door thru the transom, I have added a picture I found on the net of an F32 with the door, I would like to know if there was an option to have these doors done at the factory when the boat was ordered or these doors were added on by the owners. Was wonder...

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on the boat. Where will you be boating out of and how about some pictures.

My 77 F32 also has a hard plastic or synthetic material, last year I used 220 sand paper gave it a very light sanding just to scuff it up so the new paint would adhere, then 2 coats of paint looks like new.

I agree with Prowler 100% 3M Restorer and Wax a great product, I used this on my F26 the hull was in terrible shape really dull and chalky came up fantastic, as for washing a simple solution of dish soap and water then hose off with fresh water let dry and buff with 3M Restorer and Wax, this job doe...
