Hey guys new to the forum,
I just completed the purchase of a 1982 trojan american 26 ft center console. Been doing some research, atleast what little can be found on the hull and builder.
Im proud to own a boat this rare. Right now I have twin Yamaha 225 0x66's on it and just did some electronics upgrades and a basic wrap. It doesn't have the classic center console t top but it will soon, trying to find the right one for this boat. I live on the manatee river in bradenton Florida so I hope to be running this thing off shore. I have very little money in the boat so far but am planning to do some upgrading over time, including new gas tank, good thing the deck is convertible. How are these boats not more in demand? Not happy with the bottom paint but it will be gone soon. any other Trojan American owners local to central west Florida?
Among the to buy list are new trim tabs the t top, new leaning post, stereo could use a little help and possible an armstrong bracket.
Anyone had one of these and have any constructive input?
