Trojan Boat Forum

I am not sure if this belongs here or on the pontification page. I was curious if anyone has ever see an F-44 Convertible Sedan. I did not know that Trojan made a convertible sedan above the F36 until I came upon an old catalog recently.

You made me curious so I did some Googling. Here is what I found on a website that somewhat memorialized Lloyd Bridges. I sent an email to the address below but it bounced back. Hello I just wanted to let you know that I too am a fan of Mr. Lloyd Bridges and that the world lost a great hero when he ...

You've clearly seen it and seem to know quite a lot about it. I wonder if that boat is still around. Are there any other famous Trojans that you know of? I often wondered what type of boat Robert Wagner had that became infamous when Natalie Wood drowned. I've seen lots of pictures of it over the yea...

I was watching an episode of Sea Hunt last night and Mike Nelson was on a Trojan. It was neat seeing one of the old Trojans in pristine condition. It looked like about a 30' Sea Raider Express with a flybridge. There were several scenes with the boat cruising and even some shots in the cabin. Has an...

I am trying to settle a friendly bet. I suspect this topic has been discussed in the past but could not find anything conclusive. Forgive me in advance for such an elementary question. In a given boat that is available in a single or twin engine configuration (say an F28 0r F30), is the fuel consump...

The SS United States was an amazing ship when she was built in 1952. Some of her speed records that were set over fifty years ago still stand today. Hopefully things will come together with the restoration. Below are a couple of links for anyone interested in learning more about this important ship:...

Not sure if this is a pontification, but it's a song that that struck a chord with me (no pun intended). Curious what others might think.

I wondered the same thing but when I looked at the pictures of the salon it looked too wide to be an F30. To your earlier point, if it's a Trojan at all, it's a heavily customized one. I'll be curious to hear what the broker replies with.

Just curious, has anyone ever seen a Trojan with a swim deck like this?

In case it winds up making a difference to you, it might be worthwhile to confirm if you are looking at an F25 or an F26. There are pretty big differences in the accommodations between the two from that year. I believe that the F26 is close to a foot wider and the head is substantially roomier and c...

One thing Sorensen did not point out is the capacity of the raw water pump. If Don Casey's numbers are valid, they could be helpful in understanding what the capacity would be with two powerful V8 engines. Anyone happen to know if the flow rate specs are available for the engines typically found in ...

Do most folks put one on each engine in a twin engine setup?

Hi folks, I am reading Sorensen's Guide to Powerboats. It's well written and loaded with useful information. One item in particular struck me and I was curious about the forum's thoughts. In the discussion on dewatering there is a chart with the rate of flow of water into a boat based on the size of...

This book is new to me. Once again this forum is a great place for me to learn.

Prowlerfish, thanks for creating this post and then making it easy for us to find on Amazon. Just ordered a copy.

Oh...I had no idea. Thanks for letting me know.
