What were the 25' mid-1980's center console boats called?

[benspoon]

A couple of years ago I decided, against my better judgement, to by a boat. The first one I saw was a 25' Trojan center console with twin 250 Yamahas on it. It was in beautiful condition, but just too much boat for my pocketbook. Then I stumbled across a give-away Cuddy, bought it and have grown to regret it. I've lusted after that Trojan ever since. I've seen the one in Florida, and another in Maryland and just the other day thought I found another in Maryland at a giveaway price. I drove four hours to see this boat and had already made up my mind to buy her, except she turned out to only be 20' long. Still a nice looking boat, but not exactly what I wanted. So now I am searching the internet to find that elusive 25'-26' center console, twin engine Trojan that I dream about. Except I don't know what they were called. The 20 footer was a "C-20". I am aware of the Marlins, built in the 1970s, but they have different lines. I think the boat I am looking for was the same hull as the F-26, but just a CC up top. I have found a couple with surface drives, but I really want outboards. Can anybody help me find one?

The boats you are referring to were called Trojan American, then in the mid-80's Trojan sold them off to Larson

Welcome to the forum.

That is a good looking CC so hopefully you will find one in your price range.

Thanks for your answers. I appreciate your help. I do, of course, have more questions...
So if they are Trojan Americans, do they all go by "C- XX"? Do they have a catchy name like "Marlin"? Where can I find one of these? Also, If I look for a Larson of the same vintage, will it have the same lines?

I just saw your link...that's the boat! 'cept I'm looking for something without the cabin. I've got a cuddy now and it's just wasted space and weight. Thanks a bunch for the help!

The Boat you are asking about is the 26' center council Trojan International. It was only made for two years and the hull molds were sold to Jefferson Beach Marina. They manufactured the boat for a couple of years and then sold the hull molds to Larson. I have had mine since 1986, it has twin 185 Evenrudes. I have had great luck with mine, many fishing trips in Lake St. Clair,Mich. Unfortunately I have not used the boat as much as I would like so the boat is in great shape. I have for the most part kept it in rack storage summer and winter. Since it was kept out of the sun the gelcoat is in good shape. I am in the process of selling it and would like to find a good home for it. It has been a refuge for many years
