This stylish, speedy and surprisingly spacious Bertram-Trojan 40' express cruiser provides a wonderfully comfortable and practical platform for spending enjoyable time on the water with family and friends.
The sleek and elegant design is quite versatile; especially well-suited for dockside entertaining, day trips, overnighting at local anchorages, and participating in boating rendezvous/events (i.e., Seafair). When time permits, enjoy fast transits to & from the San Juan/Gulf Islands for long weekends or more extended cruising. The Trojan 12 Meter Express will satisfy an owner's penchant for high-speed travel, entertaining, and relaxed, comfortable cruising.
Manufactured by Betram's Trojan Yachts Division in Lancaster Pennsylvania, this sturdily built, quality express cruiser is powered by twin Detroit Diesel 6-71 TI (450hp) engines. "Liquid Remedy" cruises easily at 18-20 knots, and sports a top speed of around 28 knots. The Trojan 12M Express is well-regarded for its stable ride in rougher waters. Twin screws make maneuvering in close quarters and docking a cinch.
The expansive cockpit seats up to 12 at the helm seat and two passenger seating areas. A variety of sleeping arrangements are available from the private owner's suite (w/ separate head access) forward, in the salon, and back to the cockpit. With spacious accommodations enabled by her 14 foot beam, amenities including a full galley, separate shower, generator and inverter, "Liquid Remedy" has the prerequisites for comfortable PNW boating. It is fully ready to take its next owner on new adventures.
