Survey went pretty well. The problems with the boat are from years of non use and not structure or build integrity. Matter of fact, between the surveyor and a marine mechanic, both said this boat is one of the best built they have seen. They both said I would be doing catch up work on the neglected ...

The survey went fairly well. Some items of deficiency were the air conditioning was inoperable and the port side stuffing box was leaking steadily. The boat was rated as "Fair" in condition. The engines started quickly with no problems and ran well with no smoke (660 hrs with two new distr...

Have a survey on Friday, so I should have the official on the hull. The boat yard that we are doing the survey at has a 1994 Carver Trojan 370 Express in dry storage, so I went over and took a look at the hull. Definitely not the Delta Conic. The boat has almost no noticable chine. The 10.8 Express ...

The only thing that concerns me is that I looked at a 1994 Carver-Trojan 370 and the Trojan 10.8 Meter International Express, and they are very similiar in appearance and layout. I was only hoping Carver did not get involved prior...

The boat is in the water right now. I will have the surveyor look at this when it gets pulled. I was more enthusiastic until they started comparing the Carver built 370/390/400 to the 'old' 10.8 Meter International Express. I haven't been able to find anyone that own a 10.8 express to talk to. My su...

1991 Trojan 10.8 Meter Express

I am looking at a 1991 10.8 Meter Express. There is very little info out there on the Express model of the 10.8, which was only made from 91 to 92. I wanted to know if anyone has any experience with this model, good or bad. I know this looks very similiar to the later 370/390/400 Carver edition, whi...
