Having owned a Trojan 10 meter MC (1989) for 6 years I can say they where built like battleships when they came out of Lancaster PA. The wide beam and wide chines made for a very comfortable ride in all sea conditions. Downside was due to that wide beam and heavy weight she was a thirsty boat, less than 1 nautical mile per gallon with the 454 Crusaders. The engines were set wide apart and docking was a breeze. Boat was above average condition when i purchased but I still put a lot into it doing upgrades (25 year old boat). Sold when gas approached $6.00 gal. We looked any many for the next cruiser and the 370 Sundancer came out on top.
When Carver took over they destroyed the molds and started fresh with there designs. Most of the older Internationals that were diesel came with Detroit 671's and 892's in the larger 13 meter.
I also looked long and hard at the Trojan 44 as she is a big girl for a 44 (51ft. stem to stern).
Unless you are willing to work or pay to have work done I would definitely look at what Sea Ray has put out over the years. Our 1995 was pristine when we purchased and we are the 3rd owners.
