Jess and I are getting ready to buy an older Trojan and have found many of them on the internet from the early 1970s to the mid '80s. The seem to have the room we need to live aboard (just us and our two dogs), and we've looked at a couple. Any thoughts on these boats would be apprectiated (or on the 'flybridge sedan'), also any information on any for sale...we've found a buyer for the house and are almost ready to buy our boat and head south...just in time to escape Michigan's winters!<br /><br />Thanks in advance,<br /><br />Rj<br /><br />Email is NewtsThoughts@aol.com
The three girls are getting all kinds of help! My wife's a cutie...does that help?<br /><br />Mainly need to know what people think of Trojan tricabins from the early 1970s to the mid 80s. We may decide to go with a sailboat, but the Trojans we have been on seem to 'fit' just right as far as having the room we'll need to live aboard. Any faults inherent in them we should know about? Any pros or cons to getting the years with the engines aft rather than midship? Anyone know of any for sale at a good 'starter-boat' price?<br /><br />Also, looking for 'where' to move to. May sound dumb to some, but if you've ever lived in Midwestern winters you'll know that just getting OUT is the all-important thing. Time to live where the weather isn't running your life but still need to work. Need a marina that will take liveaboards for a reasonable fee, dogs OK, and someplace where we can find modest jobs nearby. The biggest thing we have going for us is the desire...the details can all be worked out as we go along. Have been thinking of the gulf coast but open to any ideas/thoughts...like I said, the house has finally sold and we are ready to pack up and in the next month head south.<br /><br />Thanks again...<br /><br />Rj and Jessic***
