Re: My First Boat - 1997 Trojan 390 Express - Caught between 2 worlds
Yes, those are above the rub rail on the starboard side. Now I’m going to have to check mine. There’s two vents, one for the galley and one for the head. Mine have clamshell covers.

Re: Interesting Trojan Story
I've seen this story pop up multiple times over the years but have never had the courage to speak up about it. All I can say is it was very good legal team that won a judgement based on the 'design' of the aft air intakes. While I do agree the F32 design helped kill those folks, I do not believe it...

Re: My First Boat - 1997 Trojan 390 Express - Caught between 2 worlds
The Carver made Trojan 370/390/400 were derived from the Trojan International 10.8 Meter Express. This was a completely newly designed International series, and was the first International boat to abandon the Harry Schoell designed hull. The boats topside design was created by Italian naval architec...

Re: $125,000 F26
It's nice, but why?
And I agree with the engine. Why not something super modern?

Re: Repowering 198310 meter Trojan
I dream about diesel motors all the time. The cost alone keeps me from every really doing it. When the Crusaders wear out, they'll be rebuilt with maybe a little stroke, but I don't run them hard, so they probably will be around for a long time. If I'm going to spend $60,000 on diesels, there is no ...

Re: Hello Everyone and Help Please
I'd check around with the boat community and marina's and see if you can get a name of a reputable surveyor. With it now in the water, and the issues that should have been found, I'd pay the money for a new surveyor. That way, you have fewer surprises. If you have wiring issues at the log, you're bo...

Re: 1995 Trojan 350 Cruiser
It was a boat entirely designed by Fulvio De Simoni. Fulvio was first contracted by Trojan to design the layout of the International 10.8 Meter Express, however the hull was designed by an Engineer at Bertram. When Carver purchased the name rights, they used the platform to create the Trojan Express...

Re: 1995 Trojan 350 Cruiser
The 1995 Trojan 350 is a boat that was produced by Carver. Trojan Yachts went out of business in 1992. Carver used the name "Trojan" for a line of boats, but they were not designed, engineered, or produced by Trojan. They were completely engineered and made by Carver. I believe Carver had ...

Re: The Trojan International That Never Was
The bottom drawing is just the opposite layout of the 10.8 Meter Express that was produced. The V drives give significantly more space than even the 11 Meter. John Leed told me he had a concept drawing of a convertible also.

Re: Newbie looking for some basic advice
In my humble opinion, your first boat and boat owning experience shouldn't be a 50 year old wooden boat. The learning curve to maintain the boats is so steep, and the costs associated, you'll be frustrated before you get started. I always tell people to start with a smaller, fiberglass boat in good ...

Phone # for John Leed
Hi All,
Anyone have an updated phone # for John Leed. I'm trying to get more info on the 10.8 Express.
Thanks,
Todd

Re: Trojan International 10.8 Meter EXPRESS
Yes, Yanmar or Cummins diesels would be a fantastic platform for this vessel. That was the 2nd boat off the new assembly line. There won't be many of these boats left if they are neglected like the one you saw.

Re: The Norwegian Trojan....again. (update)
Honestly, I keep my boat unlocked. I figured it's easier to replace the crap they steal than the boat parts they break to get in.

Re: Flat Tappet
I think its hard to find a definitive answer to the question of how much ZDDP, or ZDTP for synthetics, are required for our older engines. Some say that its only really important during the intitial break-in, but others say it's necessary in older engines on a continuous basis. The problem the older...
