Aaron, Early on I thought that you would be a big part of the 36 tri cabin chapter! I will be working on the 36's as soon as I get some more factory info, so I'll be in touch. and to everyone else with a 36 tri, tri bridge, and sedan I would love photos!

I also have an b/w aerial shot of a 10 meter mid cabin autographed by Mr. Harry Schoell.

Although he is currently busy with other projects, an interview might be interesting if you could provide a guaranteed amount of coverage on him specificaly in the book. I am aware that there was some discord between him and the management at Lancaster.

Please advise specifically as to what you need or want.

I would be happy to copntributa any other specific information if you will tell me how many words and a specific angle you want covered.

I'll be honest, I know nothing about these boats and if you want to write the chapter opener with some history I will give you full credit for it! Harry Schoell was a friend of Ron Pickle and Ron's Widow still stays in touch with Harry so hopfully I can get him to say a few words.

I'll get back to you with more info

I don't know Roy, your boat is pretty nice. Maybe both.

I would suggest Paul's (from Ont) F-26, it's one of the nicest ones I've seen. I have a 1975 product lineup brochure that I got awhile back, it's pretty complete if that would help.

Doug, a couple of years ago, I bought a pair of outriggers from an ebay listing. It turned out that the man was a Trojan Dealer on Smith Mountain Lake near Roanoke Va. I contacted him tonight and he'd be happy to contribute. I know that his wife was featured on some of the marketing literature and he's got copies! If you'd pm to me or post an email address, I'll get you connected. I drove 6 hours for a 5 minute deal and wound up spending 6 hours with him. He's got to be a gold mine for your story.

I guess I need to see some photos of Pauls boat!

Here's one link to a thread with some photo's of Paul's boat which has a hardtop. I think he has posted photos in some other threads as well. The F-26 had three styles, Hardtop, Flybridge, and express. I can send you some photo's of my express, then all you would need is someone with a flybridge and you'd have the whole lineup

Thanks or the vote of confidence on the condition of my boat Roy & Matt.

Doug,

I'll post some pictures when I get home from work. I also have the original bill of sale and any other history on it that you might require.

Thanks Paul I would love to see some photos, I am working on the 26 right now so I'll contact you to get some background info on you and the boat.

HI Doug,

Here's some pictures of it to give you an idea of what the boat looks like. Its a '78 Hard Top. If your interested, send me a PM with your e-mail address and let me know what info you'd like me to send you.

Enjoy the pictures.

Not bad for a 34 year old boat "eh".

That is what you call 'SHOW' condition! Beautiful boat! Hope mine looks that good someday!

========================================

I would be happy to take a ride over to the other coast and do an in person interview.

All I need to know is what angle you want on the story.

THANKS!
