I dont think he is Leo. I have posted many pics of his, as im using some of his ideas. I think a couple people here have said this boat has been posted for sale several times in the past few years. Last one I read said he had 25k in it but I doubt it would ever be worth that...

Im the new owner of the F26 you were looking at. Dont know how long the seller had it up but didnt pay what he was asking.. And yes Pauls F26 is the bomb!! Thinking of doing my floors in the cabin like his. Just a little leary how to install them. Did my house with wood floors but i had nail gun with a compressor. Thats the thing about these classic Trojans suttle upgrades make them stand out ...... Thx for the compliment Leo..

Thanks for the complements. The floor is 1/4" Teak & Holly ply wood laminated to the existing floor in the Vee and Dinette. The steps and aisle floor are 1/4" Teak & Holly ply laminated to 3/4" marine ply and can be removed to access the bilge below.

If you would like a description of how it was done, let me know and I'll start a thread on it.

Paul,

Floor looks great. What did you use to finish the teak & holly?
Regular varnish or Cetol gloss?
Picture colour looks like cetol light effect (browner than red) or is that my screen setting?
