Rethinking the Mac 26
(JAXAshby) wrote in message ...
Macs are inexpensive entry-level
trailed boats,
$30,000, plus sales tax, doesn't seem all that "inexpensive" for mickey mouse
26 foot boat.
No, I prob will not get a Mac26 because I have spent so much recently
on my S2 I would never recoup the investment. Instead, I intend to do
a trip to the Bahamas before deciding what direction to go.
The 8.5M S2 is supposed to be a fast boat but not being a racer I am
unappreciative of this. Being a cruiser who is impatient, if I have
to tack all over the chart to get where I want to go, the engine gets
turned on.
I like the Mac26 concept but wish she were better made.
I am leaning toward a trailerable tri of some kind but a planing
monohull (if it really worked) would be so much easier. As planing
monohulls do exist (Mike Plants boat was such), I expect some bright
person to develop such a thing for cruising eventually, not sure how.
