American International / North American 22 and 26

[MarkG]

A friend of mine is buying a 22 foot North America or American International (same company??) and I am trying to convince him out of it to buy a 23 Seacraft (and hopefully bring two back to the westcoast to reduce the trucking from florida).

The 22 is located here on the westcoast - so he is keen to buy it. He claims that American or North America built two models a 22 and a 26 and they were affiliated with Trojan.

I have seen a picture and it looks OK but does anyone have any other information on these boats?

Were they built well? Do they ride OK? I want to convince him of Seacraft's qualities but at the same time want to pass on some feedback from people who know the boats - I have never seen one and cannot comment other than the lines look OK and the hull looks like it would handle the heavy stuff reasonably well.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks.
