Help Identifying this 10 meter international

Hello all, Newbie poster here.
Today I looked at a 1984 Trojan 10 meter International.
The boat has a flybridge helm station and a lower helm station.

The confusing part for me is that the lower cockpit station is set up like an express model. It has a raised cockpit floor with the engines under the helm.
The boat does not havce the normal Patio sliding glass doors , but rather a curved sliding lexan hatch like an express model, going to the cabin ( the lexan is cracked is a replacement available?) The Aft deck over the fuel tank and live wells in the cockpit is teak, another odd combination.

The HIN for this boat is TRJMD0600584.
SHe shows up on the documented vessels page as a 1984 33.2 LOA Beam 13.1 gross tonage 17 net tonnage 13.

To the best of my ability to decribe this boat I would call it an Flybridge express, she also has a double cabin layout WITH a dinette ( odd configuration). This is not an aftcabin or a mid cabin boat.
Any help with this would be nice...
Thank you all!

Paul, it should be that model- "Express Bridge".

Yes, That is Exactly like it ( wow you guys work fast)!

I have never seen this model before and was wondering if anyone had any feed back on it.What is the model number of this type?

I am wondering how I would get the one on Ebay back with that ford truck and trailer with the flybridge on... Low bridge everyone duck?

I had a 1988 10.8 several years agoand am now looking around.
Thank you again

The express bridge is a hybrid sort of boat. You have the convenience of cruising with the convenience of fishing or using the boat with the larger deck space which would otherwise be used by a "salon". This way you also have sleeping arrangements.

Not sure what the deisnation is for the meter boats.

The F series had the "Express Bridge' model for some time...

That is an interesting mix. I didn't realize they made an express bridge model. You would probably have to take the flybridge off. Not sure exactly, but I know my mid cabin with the radar arch is pushing the limts under street ligts and lower bridges. although, with no frame up top, it may clear.
