New to the Trojan community and forum...

Post by BillCollector »

Hello all, I'm new to the forum and the Trojan boating community. Just purchased a 1977 F30 Sport Cruiser. It's in pretty good shape but needs a little TLC like most to get to where she need to be by next season. Inside is very clean and she runs good and strong. First up would be solving the leaks around the windows. The originals have been replaced with a solid piece of plexiglass and caulked, but that seems to be weathered a bit and cracking, so short term I am planning on removing them, removing the caulk, and reseating them with BoatLIFE. Here's a pic of my new toy!

I have a bunch of additional questions, but I've been earthing around this forum to answer most of them. I'm sure I'll be reaching out to you all fairly often for advise and guidance though...
