yeah, but thirty GRAND???


For once, I have to agree with Jonathan. Perhaps we all tend to approach
such questions from our own parochial view of what a "real" boat should be,
not realizing that a boat should fit the desires and needs of its owner, not
some pre-conceived notion of an ideal boat in the sky.

I'd say that if the Mac M does what you want it to do better than the
alternatives, and suits the way you intend to use it, go for it and have the
self-confidence to give the finger to those who presume to look down on you
for choosing what suits your needs.

For once I have to agree with Jax... $30K is way too much. Even
if you want to stick with a Mac (not the X, not the X), then you
can get a model just before the M (I forget the model name), for
1/3 of that.

How much is a new Hunter 26? BTW Mac is advertised at $18k +/- the buyer
drives the price up with BIG motors.

Last time I went to A/C boatshow, a Mac was sitting there with a sign on it
loudly proclaiming $29,xxx, a "boat show special". I seem recall that taxes
and title were not mentioned.

if you go to the URL Jim posted you'll see the price I quoted. That's w/o
motor.

Can't you find the Hunter price?
