I think you're right. I saw a Mac 26 with a H U G E outboard. I
mean H U G E. The engine part had to be 5 feet tall. They were
making about 25 knots with their sail flapping around doing nothing.
It's sights like these that don't help Mac owners shake any stigma they
have.

But Gordon, have your buddy look into that Cosair 24 trimarine. One of
those is as commodious as a Mac and can sail cirlcles around bigger
boats like a Catalina 30. Also, they don't have much wood.
