Glad to be here!

Post by hustlenfloat »

Hello everyone! I purchased a 1975 Trojan F26 early this season and so far I have been in love. This is my first *bigger* boat. The boat was in okay shape when I purchased but since then I've made new cushions and curtains (had to teach myself how to sew), new flooring, countertops, paint, refinished wood, wallpaper in the bathroom and a few other things.

I've always had a dream of remodeling a bus into an RV but luck had it that I came across a boat first and I am absolutely hooked. Thick real wood to work with, craftsmanship that has lasted almost 50 years so far and it's a great time for my family.

I'm glad to be here, I will be posting a lot of pictures of my build, collecting as much information as I can and asking questions for anything I can't find the answer to. Thanks for the community and can't wait to get to know other Trojan owners.

Also, my name is Steven and I am a software engineer currently living in St. Joseph, MI. My boat name is "Hustle n Float".

Welcome Steven -

I'm not very active on this forum anymore since I sold my Trojan a couple years ago. Every now and again I drop in just to read some posts. I just happened to see yours and wanted you to know that my girl friend lives in St. Joe also and I am there very often. I had a 36' Trojan Tri-cabin for about twelve years. I am not knowledgeable about the F-26 specifically but if I can help with anything of a general nature with Trojans let me know.

There are other members of the forum that live in SW Michigan. Tom, who has an F-32 named "Tad Too Much" lives in South Haven. The guy who bought my Tri-cabin lives in South Bend and docks his boat in St Joe. I kept mine in Michigan City which is where my current boat is docked.

Welcome, Steven. Nice to see another F26 owner here. We’ve had ours since 1999 and use her every time we can. I’ve done extensive electrical work as well as interior updates. Feel free to ask for advice.
