Description
*** PLEASE NOTE - MANY PICTURES ARE A COUPLE YEARS OLD, NEW PHOTOSHOOT COMING! MANY UPDATES SINCE! ***
Over $110,000 invested in the past two years—this boat is truly turnkey with nothing left to do.
Recent upgrades include a new Garmin chartplotter, updated canvas with new eisenglass up front and reinforced throughout, and a full battery replacement (6 total) with a new energy charging system. The interior has been refreshed with new carpet, upholstery, and a custom berth mattress, while the exterior features a new teak swim platform, new swim ladder, new LED spotlight, new lines and fenders. Additional improvements include 10 new speakers, a subwoofer, two new Alpine amps, new downriggers, a new X4 speed and temperature unit, replacement salon glass, new bilge pumps, and two new water pumps. This vessel shows extremely well, is meticulously maintained, and features high-quality real teak accents—something rarely found on modern boats.
A very clean survey is available to serious buyers, with all noted items addressed by Cliff Richardson Marine in August of last year. The boat received new bottom paint two years ago, which remains in good condition, and has benefited from indoor heated winter storage for the past three seasons. The sale also includes the balance of the current season at Wye Heritage Marine Resort, already paid.
This example offers the most sought after floor plan with a single stateroom, large convertible dinette and the separate stall showing only found in the later years. All were arranged with the galley forward, a step down from the salon, and a lower helm. The interior features beautiful teak trim and wall coverings throughout, and large cabin windows admit plenty of natural lighting. On deck, the cockpit is big enough for serious fishing or entertaining, and the tournament style flybridge provides seating for up to five. She was built on a very smooth-riding fibreglass hull with a wide beam, deep V, and a shallow keel for directional stability. With the twin 350hp Crusader big block inboards, she will cruise around 19 knots and deliver a top speed in the mid-to-high 20s.
An iconic blend of performance, comfort, with that classic sport fishing design, this 1987 Trojan F36 Convertible is a fantastic opportunity to get into a capable and spacious flybridge cruiser at an approachable price point! The F-36 was one of the most popular production boats ever designed with a 17 year production span from 1972 to 1989.
