I have a 32 foot trojan with an old swim platform. thats about all I know about it. It has been sunk and salvaged, than it sat for a couple of years. Then it was striped and sat for a couple more years. then it was gutted and sat for a few more years.
Then I purchesed the hull and converted mobile home trailer for $400 bucks. The only things left are the twin fule tanks, the fresh water tank, the bridge with mostly frozen controles, and the twin props and rudders.
oh yeah, and the head is the only thing left standing. the rest just ribs and torn up electrical wires. I need some kinda plans to help me rebuild. I can't even tell where the decks were at. any help will helpfull, thanks. If you can help me out with any plans. please send to rob@sccoast.net .
ps. I think i'm in over my head. :)

Gut everything and build from there. Bad news... lots of time and money. Good news... eveything is new when your done and it's just they way you want it.

Caution: be carefull, boat parts are way more expensive that home depot or Pep Boys and this could be pretty pricey. Best advice, do lot's of research or hire someone who has done it before

Rob, If you decide you are going to part out the boat, I would possibly be interested in the swim platform. I have a F32 and need a platform for it.

Sounds like a big project, but very rewarding for sure...........hope it is close at hand so travel time is not an issue.....gut it first & check all support "ie wood "...boats are just fiberglass with a ton of purchased components anyhow, so now it all goes where you want it........post some pics might be interesting...........good luck.............anyone know of a good used parts yard? I need a hardtop for a f36
