I heard that all of the Mac26x's and M's survived.

You probably heard right.

They probably DID all survive. You see, Macs are more superior than any
heavy keelboat. 1- Macs have shallow draft only a foot a foot and a half
2 - Macs can go a helluva lot faster than any heavy keelboat.
Versatility is the key, man.

These things make the Mac more superior for getting away from a
hurricane than any 35s5 Benetoe. Your boat is mince meat if a hurricane
comes along. You can't outrun it because your boat's slow to the max and
with your six-feet of draft (guessing) you can't even get way up a river
or some place safe like that. You are stuck stuck stuck. You're a stuck
schmuck! Old fashioned heavy boats got modernized when they made the
first Mac26X. It was a stoke of genius

Macs have more flexibility than any other boat They can go way up a
river or bayou and they can get there very fast using the motor. So,
every Mac in New Orleans that anybody thought was in danger was probably
moved to safety days before the hurricnae got there.

Cheerio,
