FlyBridge

Post by Rodman »

I was wondering since my F26 does not have fly-bridge did they have any F26 that came with them? If not how hard do you think it would be to install one on the F26 Express. ( That`s if I could find one for it. )

The Trojan F-26 has always been a very popular small cruiser. Her wide beam, reliable inboard power configuration, versatility, and ease of maintenance make this a great boat at an incredibly affordable price! This one is a rare find with the factory flybridge option and fiberglass cockpit sole. It's time to take your family cruising or fishing all summer for the price of a short vacation!

Will is right , by the time you got done you would spend thousands and countless hours and only ingress the value a Little . also a fly bridge on a 26 footer can be a rolling place to be

Historically, a boat of this length and beam is top heavy (high centre of gravity) and when in a rough sea just plain dangerous. A lower helm is a must. Having said that, the greatest place on earth is on the flybridge underway! IMHO. jimbo36.

In a steep chop my F 26 can indeed rock and roll. Mine had a FB originally and I think was removed to allow trailering. Rodman, trailing, we have about 11-11.5' clearance without a bridge.
