Please Read This Entire Ad. I have addressed the Possible Delivery Of The Boat because the Trailer IS NOT INCLUDED and an Unjust Negative Feedback I recieved.
UNJUST NEGATIVE FEEDBACK:I recieved an unjust negative feedback on my RV that I sold. The guy who bought my RV is someone who wants something for nothing and tried to extort $1000.00 back from me after he's had the RV for right at a month. He was fired from his job and borrowed the money to pay for the RV from his brother, to live in. I gave him several items with the RV that he said he wouldn't be able to purchase. He's not working and basically figured he could hold me up for $1000.00, sorry, I may have been born at night, but it wasn't lastnight.
He tried to use the classifieds board feedback system to extort a $1000.00 from me after happily taking possesion of the RV. Threatening me with a negative feedback and an "Item Not As Described" to hurt my selling on classifieds board if I didn't send him $1000.00. I have the classifieds board message he sent me, if anyone here wants to see it, I'll send you a copy of it. I am in the process of disputing this negative feedback now and fully expect to get it removed from my seller account.He checked everthing out and everything was as I stated in the ad. If there'd been anything wrong with it, don't you think the guy would have contacted me the very next day? At the very least, he would have contacted me within a few days, not a month later.
Good luck to you.
Thanks and have great day.

Need more info.Ralph RoweRegistered userPosts:7Joined:Mon Dec 12, 2005 11:23 amTop25FT and 26FT HullsTrojan changed the F-25 and F-26 models a couple of times from 1970 to 1975. I don't have the exact dates, but here's what I've picked up along the way. If anyone out there has better information, please pipe in!At the beginning of the decade, The 25ft Trojan Sea Raider used a FG hull. The sheerline was straight from bow to stern and it's deck and cabin top was vinyl over plywood. The boat styled to look like the wooden models produced in the late 1960's.Trojan introduced a 26' model in 1972. This boat looks nothing like the other models produced by Trojan during this period. It's cabin had large windows and was set farther aft providing a longish foredeck and shortish cockpit. It was apparently not successful because it was not offered for 1973.In the mean time, a new 'F-25' was introduced for 1973. It had the same familiar 'sportfish' up-sweeping sheerline more commonly identified with later F-26's, F-32's and F-36's. The beam was 10'2". Power was usually provided by a single 233hp Mercruiser (Ford) 351.By approximately 1975, the F-25 hull was 'stretched' one foot behind the cabin bulkhead, and was called... the F-26! That extra foot had the following advantages: 1. Roomier cockpit. 2: It permitted a Flybridge option. 3. It improved handling (discussed later). The easiest way to tell the 1973 F-25 from the 'stretched' 1975 F-26 is by looking at the shape of the windshield sideglass. On Express modls, the early F-25's triangular sideglass is much shorter than the elongated triangle of the later F-26. On Hardtop models, the early F-25 used the same Express model side glass, while the later F-26 had a trapezoidal design, with sliding panes. The teak cockpit sole was replaced with FG for the 1977 model year. The teak helm was also switched to FG that year. Power was initally provided by the Merc 233, but then switched to the venerable Chrysler 225.Also in 1975, Trojan introduced a 'new' F-25, with a 9'4" beam. The hull had a straight sheerline, like the 'old' FG model of 1970. It was offered in both Express and HT form, and nearly all were powered by a single 225hp Chrysler Marine 318. Initially, the boat featured a built-in bench on the foredeck. An optional Flybridge was not offered on this model.Both the late model F-25 and the late model F-26 share the same mechanical gear (14x10 prop, as well the same shaft and rudder). And they both benefitted from trim and finish upgrades through the years, but the hulls remained unchanged thru 1983.I've owned a 1978 F-25 and a 1976 F-26. I prefer the perfectly proportioned lines of the F-26 to the stubby looking F-25. I also like the use of real teak in the interior in my F-26. My F-25 used wood-grained Formica throughout. My F-25 had a FG cockpit sole, which is much cooler to the touch than the F-26's composite teak plywood. But the teak hides the dirt better. Also, the F-26 has a larger head. I think the F-25's head was Trojan's way of reminding you that you should have bought the F-26!!! The F-25 is lighter and so marginally faster, but it is more prone to severe over-planing (nose diving) if the trim isn't set just so. If I understand John at Marine Tech correctly, the hulls of both models were 'hydrodynamically challenged' because the engines were positioned farther aft than ideal to gain cabin room. Trojan engineers tried to improve performance by adding a ventilation plate which extended several inches aft of the rudder port. You may also notice a small delta-wing form cast into the top of the factory equipped rudder. Both 'modifications' were supposed to 'trick' the hull into thinking it was longer, but the problem was never totally eliminated. Last summer, I added a plate to my F-26 on John's advice. (Note: the F-26 Flybridge will overplane much more easily than the non-FB model.)Whichever model you prefer in the end, all 25ft and 26ft models are perfect cruisers for the budget minded. I know my next cruiser will be a Trojan!I reserve the right to end this auction early, as this vessel is for sale locally.
I will deliver this vessel anywhere in the US for a reasonable fee.

It had the same familiar 'sportfish' up-sweeping sheerline more commonly identified with later F-26's, F-32's and F-36's. The beam was 10'2". Power was usually provided by a single 233hp Mercruiser (Ford) 351.By approximately 1975, the F-25 hull was 'stretched' one foot behind the cabin bulkhead, and was called... the F-26! That extra foot had the following advantages: 1. Roomier cockpit. 2: It permitted a Flybridge option. 3. It improved handling (discussed later). The easiest way to tell the 1973 F-25 from the 'stretched' 1975 F-26 is by looking at the shape of the windshield sideglass. On Express models, the early F-25's triangular sideglass is much shorter than the elongated triangle of the later F-26. On Hardtop models, the early F-25 used the same Express model side glass, while the later F-26 had a trapezoidal design, with sliding panes. The teak cockpit sole was replaced with FG for the 1977 model year. The teak helm was also switched to FG that year. Power was initally provided by the Merc 233, but then switched to the venerable Chrysler 225.Also in 1975, Trojan introduced a 'new' F-25, with a 9'4" beam. The hull had a straight sheerline, like the 'old' FG model of 1970. It was offered in both Express and HT form, and nearly all were powered by a single 225hp Chrysler Marine 318. Initially, the boat featured a built-in bench on the foredeck. An optional Flybridge was not offered on this model.Both the late model F-25 and the late model F-26 share the same mechanical gear (14x10 prop, as well the same shaft and rudder). And they both benefitted from trim and finish upgrades through the years, but the hulls remained unchanged thru 1983.I've owned a 1978 F-25 and a 1976 F-26. I prefer the perfectly proportioned lines of the F-26 to the stubby looking F-25. I also like the use of real teak in the interior in my F-26. My F-25 used wood-grained Formica throughout. My F-25 had a FG cockpit sole, which is much cooler to the touch than the F-26's composite teak plywood. But the teak hides the dirt better. Also, the F-26 has a larger head. I think the F-25's head was Trojan's way of reminding you that you should have bought the F-26!!! The F-25 is lighter and so marginally faster, ut it is more prone to severe over-planing (nose diving) if the trim isn't set just so. If I understand John at Marine Tech correctly, the hulls of both models were 'hydrodynamically challenged' because the engines were positioned farther aft than ideal to gain cabin room. Trojan engineers tried to improve performance by adding a ventilation plate which extended several inches aft of the rudder port. You may also notice a small delta-wing form cast into the top of the factory equipped rudder. Both 'modifications' were supposed to 'trick' the hull into thinking it was longer, but the problem was never totally eliminated. Last summer, I added a plate to my F-26 on John's advice. (Note: the F-26 Flybridge will overplane much more easily than the non-FB model.)Whichever model you prefer in the end, all 25ft and 26ft models are perfect cruisers for the budget minded. I know my next cruiser will be a Trojan!I reserve the right to end this auction early, as this vessel is for sale locally.
I will deliver this vessel anywhere in the US for a reasonable fee.

UNJUST NEGATIVE FEEDBACK:I recieved an unjust negative feedback on my RV that I sold. The guy who bought my RV is someone who wants something for nothing and tried to extort $1000.00 back from me after he's had the RV for right at a month. He was fired from his job and borrowed the money to pay for the RV from his brother, to live in. I gave him several items with the RV that he said he wouldn't be able to purchase. He's not working and basically figured he could hold me up for $1000.00, sorry, I may have been born at night, but it wasn't lastnight.
He tried to use the classifieds board feedback system to extort a $1000.00 from me after happily taking possesion of the RV. Threatening me with a negative feedback and an "Item Not As Described" to hurt my selling on classifieds board if I didn't send him $1000.00. I have the classifieds board message he sent me, if anyone here wants to see it, I'll send you a copy of it. I am in the process of disputing this negative feedback now and fully expect to get it removed from my seller account.He checked everthing out and everything was as I stated in the ad. If there'd been anything wrong with it, don't you think the guy would have contacted me the very next day? At the very least, he would have contacted me within a few days, not a month later.
Good luck to you.
Thanks and have great day.

If anyone out there has better information, please pipe in!At the beginning of the decade, The 25ft Trojan Sea Raider used a FG hull.

The teak cockpit sole was replaced with FG for the 1977 model year. The teak helm was also switched to FG that year. Power was initally provided by the Merc 233, but then switched to the venerable Chrysler 225.Also in 1975, Trojan introduced a 'new' F-25, with a 9'4" beam. The hull had a straight sheerline, like the 'old' FG model of 1970. It was offered in both Express and HT form, and nearly all were powered by a single 225hp Chrysler Marine 318. Initially, the boat featured a built-in bench on the foredeck. An optional Flybridge was not offered on this model.Both the late model F-25 and the late model F-26 share the same mechanical gear (14x10 prop, as well the same shaft and rudder). And they both benefitted from trim and finish upgrades through the years, but the hulls remained unchanged thru 1983.I've owned a 1978 F-25 and a 1976 F-26. I prefer the perfectly proportioned lines of the F-26 to the stubby looking F-25. I also like the use of real teak in the interior in my F-26. My F-25 used wood-grained Formica throughout. My F-25 had a FG cockpit sole, which is much cooler to the touch than the F-26's composite teak plywood. But the teak hides the dirt better. Also, the F-26 has a larger head. I think the F-25's head was Trojan's way of reminding you that you should have bought the F-26!!! The F-25 is lighter and so marginally faster, but it is more prone to severe over-planing (nose diving) if the trim isn't set just so. If I understand John at Marine Tech correctly, the hulls of both models were 'hydrodynamically challenged' because the engines were positioned farther aft than ideal to gain cabin room. Trojan engineers tried to improve performance by adding a ventilation plate which extended several inches aft of the rudder port. You may also notice a small delta-wing form cast into the top of the factory equipped rudder. Both 'modifications' were supposed to 'trick' the hull into thinking it was longer, but the problem was never totally eliminated. Last summer, I added a plate to my F-26 on John's advice. (Note: the F-26 Flybridge will overplane much more easily than the non-FB model.)Whichever model you prefer in the end, all 25ft and 26ft models are perfect cruisers for the budget minded. I know my next cruiser will be a Trojan!

I'm interested in the Trojan Hardtop if you can find a Roadworthy trailer to sell with it!
I've purchased boats without trailers and my wallet still hurts from the cost of shipping!
Let me know if you're interested.
Please at least confirm receipt of this message or I'm going to give some negative feedback!
Just kidding!
eBay is a pain in the ass!
