Curtis sent me these and I resized them and loaded to my photobucket album. Super nice boat, Curtis. Looks like it has been weel maintained and stored under cover.

Pretty boat Curtis.

Trailering an inboard must require a really deep ramp and long trailer tongue - or do you pay a yard to lift in in for you?

Only thing I see missing is a Swim Platform.

I do believe that it is an F-25. Years ago there was another Trojan at my marina though it was an F-25. It was identical to my F-26, except for the transom is a little different just below the hull to deck joint and it also has a prop pocket. Interior wise its the same. Performance wise, it was a little quicker than mine at the same rpm's. At the time, both had chrysler 318's 1:1 and a14x10" prop. He carried 50 gallons of fuel and I have 62.

It is a very nice looking boat, looks to be in very good condition. Good luck

Nice Boat Curtis. I really like the advantages you get with the prop pocket. Less draft and less drag.

It really isn't a problem on either fronts. The only problem I have is ramps with a bevel near the top of the ramp where it meets the road or parking lot. Tends to scrrape one of the bunk boards uprights.

Thanks for the compliments. I have a friend with the heavy duty pick up who helped me put it in the water at Lake Lewisville, where it will stay. Before it went into the water, I had a teak swim platform installed.
I have about 30 hours on it in two months so I have been giving it a good shakedown with minimal problems. I still don't know if it has the 14 x 10 prop, but will check next time she is out of the water. She seems a bit slow compared to Paul (Canada) and MattSC and Braymond

I have been buying teak oil by the gallon at West maine to keep her looking nice.

She is really fun with a 90 degree 18 mph crosswind getting back into the slip! I am still learning.
