In that case.... he wins! (get the logic?)

Not any more. I think AOL said he couldn't play anymore.

None of those boats can do what the Mac can.


Let's not turn this into a silly debate. We all know what the Mac26x
is
and
that a great many buyers are probably never fully aware of how poor
a
boat
it
really is.
True, I've only been aboard two and only spoke to three different
owners,
but
none of them were overly pleased with the boat. I'm sure some people
love
them,
just like my dad loved his AMC Pacer. But he never thought it was
really
a
"good" car.

I've forgotten... what kind of boat do you own? Do you
think it'll go up in value?

You are right! $30k would probably get you at least 15 or more Sidelmanns
in
today's market. They sure aren't ever going to go UP in value.

It's a horendous amount for THAT boat. 30K can buy....

A J30 and a J24
Two Pearson 30s
A C&C 30 late model
A Catalina 30 late 80's
A Bristol 29.5

And so on....

RB

or an even dozen Sidelmanns!

Are you related to JAXAshby? Your reading comprehension is a bit dim.

At least two people told you that they had indeed seen them, including
seeing
them sailing. Is real life good enough for you?

C&Cs have, in fact, risen in value since the company's new incarnation took
flight.

I kinda doubt that they've exceeded their original cost in today's dollars.

That alone should tell you something.

All I know is that they cost more now than they did 6 years ago on the used
market. In general I find C&Cs to be overpriced.

DSK,

You need to read the notes you respond to more carefully. What I said was:

After reading the numerous responses to my note, I conclude that: (1) No
one has sailed the new 26M extensively, and no one so far has any REAL
EXPERIENCE with or knowledge of the 26M MODEL; and (2) This doesn't stop
MOST responders from confidently and dogmatically telling me all about
the shortcomings of the 26M (which they have never seen, much less
sailed). In contrast, those I have talked with elsewhere who HAVE
actually sailed and motored the boat are quite impressed with it

DSK, note in particular the word "most" in the above sentence. Also note
my further statement, that you didn't quote, expressing apprecation for
the helpful information provided by some on the ng. (Incidentally, you
can get reading glasses at most pharmacies these days for under $20.)

I think the guy is bi-polar just like the boat he is asking about.
