I will be starting work on my 1970's Trojan boat its a 30' with twin mercruisers I believe 225hp but I am not sure about that? The motors I believe are in good condition but I need to do interior wood and possible rebuild the wood framing inside the fiber glass. I will be taping it in web cams and posting it on a couple of sites if you are interested in seeing it let me know. If you have any ideas on where or how to start I would love the imput. Thanks I believe it is a 1973 trojan f30 I will get some photos and maybe you will be able to help me figure out what it is.

Post the HIN here and you will get lots of information on it.... the HIN is generally found on the transom starboard side below gunnel or about a foot above waterline.

Is there another number on the outside starboard side of the transom above the waterline?
That number says it is an F30 Sport cruiser 1974 and the 202nd boat built of that model.

Sorry did not see any other numbers other than the registraion number but I am not done taking it appart yet so there may be more numbers. That can be the real number as I am not sure of year or make only that its a 30' so f30 1974 may be correct. as for a sports cruiser I will need look at some pictures to get a better idea.

It was in the 60-70 then plunged to like oh -5 celcius and we got about 5 inches of snow...gone now though but still a couple piles here and there lol We need it though the lake it about 2 1/2 feet low which means bigger boats like mine will have a tough time on the lake.....so work on the boats this year and may not even get them in the water.....
