....and he is trying to sell it I was a little surprised to see the
blistering on a boat that probably spends most of it's life on a
trailer, but at least it isn't $30k+. Katy could paint it blue, for
the "new boat" look, or yellow for the South Florida look and be in
business for less than $5k. Get an old engine block mooring and keep
her boat next to Capt Neal's

Probablt the exact opposite. mac designs their boats to sit on trailers, he
probably left it in the water for a season and.......voila.....blisters.

Let me make this perfectly clear...having no boat at all is preferable than
having a Mac 26 X, M or any other configuration...I'll go back to sticking a
log on telephone poles and sailing with gunny sacks before I'd consider a
Mac....
