Late 80's Trojan 28? foot CENTER CONSOLE PROJECT !! Any INFO

Airbus A320 · Post by **Airbus A320** » Mon Dec 24, 2012 9:21 pm

Just picked this boat for no other reason than the fact that the hull intrigued me. Am getting ready to cut the deck off and take a good look and see if we can make this into a seaworthy offshore boat.

Does anybody have any information on these boats? Construction? Quality? Ride? How about the massive reverse chine?

Its on a bracket with twin 225 suzukis

Any help is greatly appreciated !!!!

welcome to the forum!! a great place to be. nice profile name btw. where are you based and who do you fly for? i'm dca based with US. (maybe soon to be AA if the merger is announced.)

i've never seen a trojan like this before. any back ground in the design, etc?
i'd love to know more about the 'trojan american'.

thanks.

found this in the a.m. logo is correct. i thought that trojan's entry into the center console market was the 25' marlin. never even heard of the 'trojan american' branding.

I am jfkbased soon to be bos based. Just switched from the bus to the 190 so i can get a nice line and not run island redeye reserve.

The boat is a 1982 which in 1982 made this boat a spaceship.

The motors are 1997's so i am guessing that the bracket was added later

Have to measure it i am thinking it is their 26 model.. Really hope somebody chimes in with some " hey i worked in the factory info "

Never heard of a CF . they were called Trojan American , is the CF a model of Trojan Americans ? oh wait I see it in Aarons Link "Trojan American CF-26 "

I have a suzi 225 and considerable info on the motor, plenty power.

I can't be sure by the photos But the Hull of the CF-26 in Aarons link looks like a F hull ( the F in CF ? ) but Airbus A320's photo looks more like a Deltacronic hull

Airbus A320 do you have a phot from the stern ?
