Going to pick up my first Trojan. It clamins to be a 1977 25' hardtop with a fresh Chrysler 250 hp. What is the differance betwwen a F-25 and a F-26 are they all a "F"? What does the "express" mean? Are they all express? Is not a flybride, thats an easy one to tell. Was looking to get Chris Craft, same vintage and size did I make the right choice? Thanks in advance for the info.

F indicates fiberglass. The differences between the two is the cabin layout, and I believe that the 26 has a little more beam.

The F26 design evolved over the years. Around 72 it had a rear facing engine with a V drive, slightly more cabin and less cockpit than in later years. By 75, the engine turned around to face forward, the cockpit grew a little and the cabin shrank.
The 26 has a 10-2 ft beam. I've seen the beam listed from 8' to 9'-4" ft in ads for 25s
Good Luck!
