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 !!!!

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 "

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 ?
