How Long have you had your Trojan

Post by MattSC »

Out of curiosity I was wondering how long some of you have had your Trojan. I'm currently in my 15th season with my 1975 F-26, she's been a really good boat, and done more than I ever could have imagined. The more I continue to use her, I would probably do another complete restoration than get something different. :D

I am up to about 7-8 years now with my '79 F32...

Previously my father owned a '68 28 Sea Skiff for about 25 years.

Seven years here on my 1983 10 Meter International.

I bought her from the original owner whohad her for 18 years.

That says something.

He took delivery after the Miami Boat show through Jackson Marine Sales.

She was dressed out nicely. I expect this was done for the show, and has most all the options available that year, including lots of teak on the gunnels and bow pulpit.

I bought my 1977 F-32 in 1983! Still love it. The classic look will never go away.
