Trojan Boat Forum

:lol: Im glad you found the right boat! It took me 3 years to find my last one, and 2 years to sell it, I have to keep reminding myself of that. You have many more boats to choose from back east, all of ours seem to have been taken over by hippie squatters that have NO clue how to treat a boat. I go...

UGH! Horrible story! Anyway, I wont be bringing her down the coast. I flew up to see her this weekend and it seems the pictures were about 5 years old, (not unlike all the other boats Ive looked at), not to mention the JB Weld on the manifold of a triple nickel. He told me the engines were perfect a...

Hey Dave thanks for getting back to the thread. It's ALL about timing. WOW Everette to Humbolt in May must have been more than a thrill in May!! My captain said he would not even think of leaving the dock before June, and that he would have to have reliable long range weather reports. Since he has a...

I have run a 46' trawler from Seattle to LA. We experienced up to 18' seas and we were trying to pick the weather. My trawler took the waves far better than an F44 will. As mentioned Trojans typically experience slewing when hit by waves from astern. Coming down the coast, you will have predominant...

of course the Captain will have the final say! We are going to push her around this weekend on the sea trial. Mechanic will be in the engine room the whole time. When I asked my Insurance guy, he said the insurance for the SF Bay is good all along the coast from Mexico to BC. According tho them, if ...

the point youve raised about entering the inlets is very valid. We plan on leaving Neah with at least 3 days good weather and can get down to Oregon, apparently the further South, the easier it gets. I looked at a 47' Concorde thats here in SF. It was rough and no where near the beauty of a Trojan, ...

thanks for your input. The delivery captain Ive hired has brought over 100 boats down the coast, in fact mine is 'in line' after a trawler. I have full confidence. all modern electronics, life raft, EPIRB, survival suits etc. strong engines. We plan to stay about 30 miles off the coast and duck in e...

Hi, new to the site and have a question for those with experience. I am looking at a Trojan F-44 1976 in really great shape. (Twin Cummins VT-555-M) I plan on bringing it down from Seattle to SF Bay. I have hired a captain since I have limited off shore experience and he thinks its a great boat and ...
