It is hard for many current boaters to remember, but back in the late 1970s and early 1980s many "cabin cruisers" and express boats were still very much designed and engineered out of the 1950s, which is to say, boxy and squared off. When first introduced in 1981, Trojan's International series of boats were truly groundbreaking.When first introduced the industry sneered, saying they were:too widetoo brashtoo sportytoo colorfultoo Continentaltoo expensivetoo differenttoo blatantly hedonisticInside there were rounded edges and curves instead of angles, plush fabrics, sensual color schemes, hidden trash cans, push button-curved doors and molded in ductwork.Outside a daring new design, tremendous deck space, bold hull graphics, curved glass, opulent features and a bold new look.Underneath it all were fiberglass stringers (no wood), a vacuum bonded hull with liners, built in water tanks and a side at-waterline exhaust system, all riding on a revolutionary new stable dry ride hull design that garnered raves from reviewers.IT TOOK COURAGE TO CREATE THE YACHT THEY SAID WOULD NEVER FLY...Decades after introduction, these innovative and initially radical concepts continue to influence marine design. These vessels still stack up well against new offerings and remain one of few boats worthy of a repower or complete refit. They are well recognized and represent an outstanding value in the marketplace that far exceeds market price.Today the great majority of American express cruisers look as they do because of the individuals and risk takers at Trojan who set the course many years ago.The Trojan name continues to be a good one, and on the dock the "talk" is positive for these well designed and engineered vessels built in Lancaster Pennsylvania.
