I hope all of my Trojan friends had a great Christmas holiday, we ended our long weekend on the boat, it was cool for So Cal, about 50 degrees, but an absolute beatuiful sunset.. "red sky by night"
thought I'd share a few photos,

Tomorrow I'm off to look at an F-36... wasn't on my replacement list, but still love the lines and the extra space...just what I need, another project :shock:

Thanks guys,
The osprey is certainly a beautiful bird, but wow does he make a mess on the boats below !

The six's.. they are running great, I am still logging about 3-4 gallons an hour at 11-12 knots , all in all the boat really came together nicely and I have noticed that my nieghbors have given a lot of nice compliments lately on how she looks.

Funny thing though, after all of the work, I am thinking of selling it and buying a little bigger boat. I have found the 32 is a good couple boat, 4 people for a cruise around the bay and 6 sitting at the dock having drinks, but overall, kind of small for what suits our needs and how we use the boat.

six's would be perfect in that hull ! of course six cylinder diesels would be even better.

I have looked at the 3607's but correct me if I'm wrong, you're at about 41' OAL?

have a loa of 42' beam is 12'6" real draft of 3'4" when loaded with all the stuff. The hull is a good compromise one she rides great at 8 & 17 knots with half tanks of water full gas she'll hit 25 down hill...
