Looking for whoever built this boat

Hello all, new here. Recently acquired this 1975 31. Been into building center consoles for a few years and am new to Trojan boats.

Bought this as a shorehouse for the wife and I. I believe it’s second life was given somewhere in NJ, and it’s been through 2 or 3 owners since. I’m currently in Atlantic City. I’m trying to track down whoever did the work to it. Would love to pick their brain on some things. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. We were looking at a lot of early 2000 mid cabin cruisers like sea rays and chapparrals. Picked this up for half what we were looking to spend and we love it. I have a 72 mako and a 69 sea craft so it fits right in.

Specifically I’m looking for information on where to source the material the builder used in the interior. Have a few areas that leak, and once I seal it up there’s some rotted wood I’m going to replace.

A lot of work went into this boat at some point and I’d like to keep it looking good. Seems like it was neglected a bit by the previous couple owners.

By Builder do you mean Trojan or the person that did some rework? Do you have interior photos?

Also going by all the paperwork I received on the boat, the re-fit was done around 2014 if that helps. I tried searching the forum and couldn’t come up with anything, but I’m new here and I’m not familiar with the search format to do a deep dive.

I don't recall any refit on that boat being poster here. Not sure where you will find that info other than searching former owners. Definitely not the way the boat came from Trojan.

Got ya thanks. Figured I’d try here. It’s a small community of folks that would spend the time and money to do the amount of work this fella did. Hopefully I’ll be able to make a connection.
