Trojan Boat Forum

I wish I could take credit for the info but that belongs to a member named jon e quest. In the subject line on my previous post I tried to give him credit. I simply copied and pasted his reply from a couple years ago. I searched a couple minutes and found the old post. Anyway, I have a F26 with the ...

boaterguy: I've owned both the 'Model 253' F-25 and the 'Model 261' F-26. And if you plan to spend weekends on your new boat, I recommend sticking with the 'Model 261' F-26 for the extra space. The head and berths are both much larger on the F-26. A lot more storage. And the F-26 was more deluxe in ...

Is that Mary Ann or Ginger preparing the meal? Tee hee. Once I showed a picture of my boat to a guy I work with. Said he thought it looked like the ss minnow. I thought what an a hole, he might as well have been talking about one of my kids. But, yours really looks like the memories I have of giliga...

Rodman: That prop sounds way too big for your boat. I'm suprised that it will even turn enough to clear your hull. A 351 merc. should use a 71c velvetdrive that is a 1:1 ratio for original equipment I believe. Matt and foofer are closer to what you should be using(14x10). I think that if your prop i...

Rodman: you probably want to quit calling him "footer" before you guys leave. He may give you the footer. I'm jealous by the way. My big trip is chicago and lake michigan. I can't wait to hear how your trip goes. That sounds very exciting. Please keep us up to date.

I redid my hardtop last spring because it was cracked around the perimeter where the metal trim is. Years of neglect let water get in there I guess. Anyhow the previous owner said his kids liked to jump off the hardtop into the water. So I used the durabak to cover my hardtop to be safer if my monke...

I'm curious about how you guys with the F26 HT sized your bimini tops? Is it best to just have a canvas person do it? Or could I just order a generic size top from a boating store? It looks like it might be hard to go up front with the frame in the way. Is that a problem? I like my hard top but some...

I have a 75 F26 hard top. I noticed in the pic that you have your front windows open. I really like that I can open up those windows too, makes a world of difference. I look at some of the newer boats in my price range and just don't like the styling that much. Mine has the Ford 351 mercruiser. If y...

I thought about naming mine "Extended Pleasure" as a play on the Trojan brand but my wife wasn't as impressed with it as I was. We Just got about 5" of snow this eve. I Had to come on here to cheer up a little.

Welcome capt. Your right this is a cool site.

Most likely 14"x10". I believe thats the recommended size for my f26. Running a 351 ford mercruiser rated at 233hp. To cup or not to cup. I can't say. I have an extra 13x9 that I don't think is Ideal for me but it's a good spare. May consider selling it. Think its nibral. I think its too c...

If I'm not mistaken, on the beacon marine parts page that they had replacement mufflers for the trojan boats. I think mine is working okay. I mean its not too loud or anything. I got thinking about it because the co2 alarm was going off last weekend. It turns out the batteries were dying so it start...

Hello John: I have the same boat 1975 and mine is under the steering wheel. The access panel lifts up to get access to steering cable bathroom plumbing and 12v fuse panel. Good luck. Tim

Having your head in the bow you get fresh air from the hatch. If you have your feet in the bow you have to turn all the way around to get out of bed. I personally would like to be able to see the doorway if I wake up at night. The truth is though, most of the time my kids sleep in the bow, wife slee...

Man you did a great job picking out the colors especially since they seem to look good with that crappy laminate table and counter top. I've been wondering about redoing my cushions and what colors to use. My 1975 F26 still has the original orange cushions still. I don't really want to spend the mon...
