For some reason that F30 does not look like it has as much room inside as my F26 does.

you could run a marathon in the cockpit of the clean machine compared to the cockpit of an f 30.

its the lay out of the two boats. not necessarily more room, just less crap to stumble over. the clean machine is more open compared to the f-boats. if it wasn't for the beam on the f32, i would be inclined to think my f30 had more room because it doesn't have the salon doors etc. don't know what the beam is on an f26 but on my 30 its 11'6" and that makes all the difference in the world when it comes to total area.

The F30 and the F30 clean macine share the same hull but do not have the same hull of your F26

The clean machine is a F boat (a F30) and the room is very close to the reg. F30 . The insides are the same the back deck is also the same but there is not top so its opened up and no helm there The fly bridge is on top of the cabin . so the back deck is open give a feeling of being larger I feel its one of Trojans best boats .

Kind of wonder if Bertram designed their 30' model after the clean machine. I think they only produced it for two or three years in the mid 80's

The Trojan is nicer IMO you don't have the 2 engine box's and the insides are set up better .
