Trojan Boat Forum

I suspect this is an F25... can someone confirm? I haven't seen one up close before and it's smaller than the F26s I've seen locally. I spied this a few slips down from me on Saturday when I got down. That makes 8 Trojans on my dock now. It is a very clean boat!

Can you get a look at the numbers ?

Thought of that Paul...it is looks smaller than the typical 26 in length and beam. Just figured it to be a 25.

I think they made a early and late model with a diffrent beam or maybe that was the F26 ? ( boy I am a lot of help ) . I always had issues telling them apart , some owners don't know what they have also .

After a 'lil searching, I believe it's an F25 hard top express.

Sure looks like my F25 Hardtop, it's go to be.

For me these two boats are the hardest to identify. I think (and I haven't confirmed it yet) the 25 has forward windows and the 26 has a bench seat up front where the windows would be.

It is definitely an F25. One of the most striking diffwerences is the cabin window on the front deck. The 25's is less sloped.

I think it is the other way round. 25's with the bench.

same slope lines as mine but the cabin windows are much taller. at least by 6 inches. It maybe the angle of the picture. I havent seen a f-25 hardtop, most are f-26. The numbers are on the lower black boot leg, mine are under my swim platform but thi boat doesnt have one. She is clean! good interesting share Jamie thanks..... I think its a 26

body line around the cabin windows is missing. If we knoew what year it was it would help. My cabin windows have a purtruding body line with a 2 inch difference, this allowed me to pull off the fake painted windsheid look. This to me should be the F-26.

The straight sheerline gives this away as a Model 253 F-25 (introduced for '75), as opposed to the sweeping sheerline of the Model 251/252 F-25 ('73-'74) and follow-on Model 261 F-26 ('75-on). The resulting tall trunk cabin and thick A-pillar ahead of the cabin side window are also clues. Early models offered a bench seat up front (illustrated in the Trojan Owner's Manual during the seventies), but most later boats had fixed forward cabin windows. Hardtop was optional, but flybridge was not available.

makes sence, I have the 74 model. Classic says his his 73? with those cabin windows and no out line its deff not a 73-74 f-25, tricky model for sure. I learned alot here, thanks guys

I think the boat is definately a later seventies F25. Does it have a bench seat up front? Seems to have a little different lines than my 73. It appears there was a significant design change sometime in the mid seventies for the F25 from others I have seen online. Can't wait to take mine out soon!

My1976 F-25 had the bench seat up front. The one pictured looks very similar.
