Trophy Fiberglass Stringers

[LeakyBucket]

What year did Trophy split from Bayliner? Did Bayliner continue making Trophy brand boats after the split?

Does anyone know when the Bayliner Trophy line stopped using wood stringers? Or did they?

Thanks!

Trophy was split off as a separate brand starting with the 2002 model year.

From some research I did a few years ago, the consensus is that is when Trophy went to a greenwood XL transom with a lifetime guarantee against rot with 10 years labor coverage. They also went to a one piece foam filled fiberglass stringer grid. Some of these changes may have been done in 2000 or 2001 before the official split occurred.

Thanks. The boats I'm looking at are pre-2002. I'm very paranoid of stringer rot in older fiberglass boats.

If you are leary have it surveyed.

Agreed, makes sense to do just that.
