Post by JimK »

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

36 fly but never a 38. Not one that looks like that. Need to see a side view of boat.

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.

The front berth and the front portion of the bridge exterior look suspiciously Trojanesque.

There are some very Torjan looking things about the boat, the head vanity, the helm console, the V-berth hull panels, hmmmm

Rebuild after sinking or fire?

I do agree some of the parts are Trojan (including transom light), but foredeck and salon appear to be a one-off design, and the way the "300" is scripted on the side of the hull is more SeaRayish...

Yeah that is an 80 F30. Heavily customized - must be nice to have the dough and time to do that. Personally, I'd just buy a bigger boat!

The broker is going to get me the hull numbers from the owner.
