1996 Trojan 440 Express For Sale

The Trojan 440 Express is an Italian-designed, American-built, two-stateroom, two-head Euro-cruiser with features that make it upscale as well as very livable.

Further, the construction is top grade, since this Trojan was actually built by Hatteras Yachts. Both companies were at the time under the Genmar corporate umbrella, and Trojan used the resources of Hatteras' High Point, NC facility to produce this particular model.

Powered by Caterpillar 3126 diesels with ZF gears, the boat has a top speed of 33 MPH and most efficient cruise at 22 MPG consuming about i gallon of fuel per mile, which is not bad for a 14 ton boat riding up on plane.

Stepping aboard via the swim platform you're actually standing over a hidden lazarette storage area. At the touch of a switch, the entire platform rises to reveal a large toy locker with built-in davit that can hold a personal watercraft, inflatable dinghy, scuba tanks, etc.

The cockpit has two areas: An aft lounge with wrap-around seating, table and wet bar, and a forward command bridge with a double helm seat that is electrically adjustable and a companion bench seat to port.

Access to the foredeck is via generous walk-around with protective bow and grab rails, and once there a large sun pad can accommodate several bathers.

Down below, the forward stateroom has a queen-sized berth, a permanent vanity and seat to port, cedar lined hanging lockers, lighted under-bunk storage areas and the master head is spacious enough to include a separate stall shower behind a curved plexiglass door.

The main salon takes full advantage of the vessel's 15-foot beam, open and inviting for entertaining, a typical layout seen in Euro and Italian boats, maximum open space with plenty of room to move around, with a long curved couch to starboard that is plush, deep and comfortable, and to port a galley with full-size fridge/freezer, microwave, coffee maker, stove and sink.

Aft, a private guest stateroom has a queen-sized berth, a cedar-lined hanging locker, and a private entry into the second head compartment that also opens to the salon.

So, if you are looking for a big, solid and stylish diesel express cruiser great for entertaining or extended excursions, this Trojan may just represent the right value proposition for you.
