Trojan Boat Forum

Definitely over kill, I built it with the parts I had laying around. it’s going to run more like a diesel. Low rpm not burning much fuel.I am shooting for part throttle cruise 3000-3500 at 28-30 mph. I will be crossing from fl to the Bahamas a few times a year. Only 70 miles or so.

It is a 454 base I built out of old parts I had from my racing days. Basically a detuned 900 hp. It should make 650-700 hp. I lowered the compression to 7.9:1 still run on 85 octane fuel if needed. It’s 588 cubic inch low rpm 5200 max.

Engine pic attached

Not really sure if it’s feasible. but I’m shooting for a cruise speed of around 28-30

Ah I see!! Thank you for the help guys. Now I just have to finish it lol. I still have some gel coat to do in the back of the boat and finish up the engine. It’s almost ready to be dynoed.

Thank you for the reply guys!! Can you explain superstructure and broken shear? I have rigged many race style boats mostly older 41 Apaches. Never heard this terminology. The boat definitely has had a lot of work done. I don’t think they built them with honeycomb core in 71.

The only number I have is a hull id number that is on the title. I don’t know where they got it from because it’s not on the boat lol. 2101050. Title says it’s a 27 foot Trojan no make or model.

Thank you. No hull number is on the boat, I assume because of the age 71. It had a pulpit on it before I got it think I measured 29 with it. It’s 10,6 wide in the front. I’ll add a pic from the stern. A couple of other things it’s a single engine and the entire deck and floor is made of foam filled ...

Hello all, I am in need of identifying this boat. The title says it’s a 1971 Trojan. I’m not sure if this is true. Any help would be awesome. See photos.
