1972 Trojan F26 Express - specs or manual

Post by JB@TO »

Hello good Trojan boat lovers!
Is anyone kind enough to share with me the full specs, or pdf manual, for a 1972 Trojan F26 Express?
I'm taking one in possession this Spring but I know only the LOA, BEAM, and Draft so far. Boat is in superb condition for its age and it has the Chevy 318.
Any advise on taking care of a 50yr old F26 is also highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
JB

You sure it's not a Chrysler 318.

Beacon Marine should be able to provide what you need.

You're both correct. It's a new Trojan lover newbie mistake. It's a Chrysler 318. And another correction is what Bob told me that it is actually a 1973 F25 made in Dec 1972. Thanks.
