RWS I spent the next morning riding with him and my girlfriend on his 22' Pulse Drive prototype boat with a single 350 cid chevy smallblock engine. Seeing the GPS hit 76 MPH while we made turns like we were on rails while blowing past go fast boats and big jetskis was something I'll never forget. Do...

Hey Prowlerfish, I spoke to Kent about his 10.8. Interesting guy, and he gave me some good info. It's nice to talk to someone with the same boat to compare notes. RWS, He said he had a pair of 56" trim tabs that he was going to install...Holy crap. :shock: He said that he would get back to me o...

Spending less at the beginning will only cost you more in the end. In my experience, most gas powered International Trojans will cost you $35-50K and diesel will be $65-95K. They are great boats for the money, and the equivalent in quality will cost you twice to three times that. I will tell you fro...

Boats that sit tend to have issues. You will need to check the fuel tank for water. If it has water, the entire tank will need to be emptied prior to your trial. Impellers that are sitting in alcohol (antifreeze) tend to get brittle, so those will need be checked also. Engines can be started out of ...

Thanks for the help guys. I'll probably be trying to continue my education on the boat. I would love to find the designer to figure out the design qualities.

That would be great...I would love to know the reason for the changes, good or bad, so I can speak intelligently on it...I haven't spoken to or heard of another 10.8 M express owner, so i'm trying to figure it out on my own.

Yeah...I also see a lot of difference in the general hull shape of every other Trojan International compared to the 10.8 express. The angle of my photo is a little higher, so it doesn't show the entire hull to the stern. So this is what I have: 1. The original Trojan 10.8 Meter came out in the late ...
