Larry mentioned in a post that he was curious about other 25 owners on the forum.

I bought mine last year and loved it, can't wait for the ice to melt so we can start the new season.

Here are a couple of pics from our maiden cruise last summer.

Any other F25 owners out there?

Hey Boaterguy,

I looked at your pic's, they look great.

But I noticed your front windows seem to be closed off, not just covered? Can you give me some info about how you did this. I am wanting to close mine off, just not sure how to do it?

Got any of the inside?

Thanks for ant info on the front windows.

Larry

To me they look like the seat option. Trojan had windows or bench seat there on a number of it's models.... F36 Tri-cabin was one that I have also seen.

ready123 is right, this is a factory original. It is a seat and the hatch is part of the bench. I have newly upholstered cushions that snap in place. This is a great place to sit at anchor or when cruising slowly.

Check in the album I posted above, I have added some pictures of the bow area.

I will look for some interior pics.

What is the beam on the F25 ( I need this for the marina and thought it would save me a trip to the boat with a measuring tape)

Does anyone have this info at hand.

Hey CClark,

You posted that your boat is a '73 25 ft hard top but the photo used for your avatar looks like an F-26. :?

Well, it possible its a F26 but it measures 25 ft and 10 ft beam. There is a metal plate in helm area that says 251 as part of the model number, which I understood to be the F25. What is it that makes you think its a F 26?

The guy that sold it to me said it was a 26 but the transom hull id has 25 in the numbers there. What do you think?

It's the shape of the hull the way it dips down at the cockpit and the lower profile cabin windows. These are typical for the F-26. Take a look at boaterguy's and larglo's avatars and you'll see what I mean.

Paul: I see what you are saying on both items, the dip down curve at gunwale level and the smaller windows. do you have a profile of your F-26 so I can take a look. Maybe I do have the 26, but I think I read in the hull id the length is always stamped. I wonder if it is possible it was missed stamped as a 25 but is really a 26 Ft.
