Hello,
I have been wanting to buy a trojan for years. I love the way they look sitting on a trailer, anchored, or motoring across the water! I'm looking at a 1977 30' with twin 318s. It has a hard top but I'm not sure of the model. I'm having trouble finding any like it so I can compare prices, any suggestions?
Thanks,Terry

Re: Wanting to buy my first Trojan
What condition is it in? Were the engines and transmissions rebuilt recently? Can you post any pictures. With older boats, the condition they are in has a large effect on the price.terryh321 wrote:Hello,

Re: Wanting to buy my first Trojan
There are a couple different models of the 77 Trojan 30 .they are called the F30 . you said something about a trailer , The F30 is a little large to keep on a trailer . Possible yes practical no IMO

Re: Wanting to buy my first Trojan
Oh,
Prices range from about $4k to $10k with most being in the $5k to $8k range.
I've seen lots of F30 hardtops on 3 axle trailers but on the flybridge model, you have to take the bridge off to tow.
