Please repost where I wrote that.

You've been defending the Mac X and M. Fact.
Sorry. Both sides of the rail doesn't suit you.

I never said that. Go ahead and google up what I actually did say, it should
provide some entertainment (which is what you're really after). Your memory is as
bad as everything else about you.

Yeah right. That's why 1- you never go sailing
2- you are proud of th many ugly excresences, such as the stern ladder, mounted on
the boat you claim to own
3- you are often bragging about how little you paid for the boat you claim to own.

Yeah, VoN. That's it. Looked at one (yellow hull) in Joisey. A little too
small for us. Don't they have more shear line than a 21?

Isn't the M25 in the Sail hall of fame? Ever seen a Mac/Venture 23'

Yes, the "Venture of Newport" which was intended to cash in on the growing
popularity of classic boats at that time.

Not to disillusion you Scott but it is really just a Venture 21 with a
bowsprit
& quarter rail screwed on. It is pretty cool looking though. There is one
that
sails a lake nearby, the owner has changed it to a quasi-gaff rig, added a
row
of bronze portholes, and some other old-timey nautical gear. Makes you
want to
grab a rusty cutlass and shout "Argh, matey!"

WTF are you rambling about? Ashtrays? No one here smokes.

Bye, bye, Scotty.

Yes, they do... I have heard varying reports on this. One is that they bent the
hull mold with a chain hoist to make the VoN model. Another is that they padded
the mold around the transom with three chunks of plywood & some wax paper.
Probably only Roger Macgregor knows the truth. But anyway, the hull sections,
the rig, and most of the deck (they changed the cabin trunk a bit too) are the
same.

MacGregor is for sure not the only boat builder to do this. Lots of other
builders too. The Santana 23 has been reincarnated three or four times, always
with the same hull.

With this type of childish discourse, there's little value in attempting to
engage you in a real discussion.
You DID say you wouldn't have done it again AFTER you found build problems.

Bye, bye, Doug.

A simple troll. Bye, bye, Doug.
You've really fallen far.

Let's help Bob on this one.

Can't say anything about the price, I gave one the once over in Chicago last
month and it did appear to be a lot sturdier than the Mac, it actually has
real winches. You'll note they rate this thing for a 75 hp outboard.

Name another boat in this size/price range that can be trailered, sailed,
motored as fast, has as much cabin space.

Take a few days, then get back to me.
