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.
