Re: Mac 19

I didn't like the way the cabin top was hinged on the forward edge. I was in a W Marine store where they were selling the 1" flagpole holders (fph) at a very low price. I bought a bunch of them, removed the forward hinges, put 4 fph on the bottom 4 corners and 4 on the deck. Aluminum crutch (wh...

Re: Where are the "old guard" of this forum?

I think that I've now had one, or more, of every water ballast boat that MacGregor made: my first Mac was a '92 26C(S), then 26x (I had 3 of these): 1 - picked up by a tornado while still on its trailer and dropped on a fence with a 4x4 going into the stern berth. Fixed and sold. 2 - Another 26X. So...

Swalloed The Anchor

I've swalloed the anchor. Last year I had major surgery and spent three weeks in the VA hospital and didn't even get my Mac in the water. I was hoping that things would be better this year, but with several Agent Orange presumptive conditions and PTSD from Nam, I realised, unfortunately, that I just...

Classified Ad

I tried to edit, and then delete my Classified Ad, without success. Hopefully I'll have better luck with other site(s) that I list it on.

Re: 2002 MacGregor 26X w/50 HP Suzuki 4-stroke OBM - $9,500

I typed in about 3 pages of equipment, in my ad in the Classifieds, but only 7 lines showed up. I see that other boats in Classifieds have several paragraphs, but I don't know how to do that.

2002 MacGregor 26X w/50 HP Suzuki 4-stroke OBM - $9,500

I'm selling my 2002 MacGregor 26X, with a 50 HP Suzuki 4-stroke OBM, on a newer aluminum double axle trailer, for $9,500. It's near Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, roughly mid-way between Milwaukee and Madison, about ten miles north of I-94. I sold this boat new in 2002, and I bought it back when the origina...

Re: The Macgregor 26... Hate it or Love it

The wife of a man that I sold a Mac26 to said: "What are we going to tell our friends at the yacht club?"
I said "Tell them that you got a better boat".

Re: Anchor locker too small, so...?

I don't keep an anchor in my 26X anchor locker (my Mac 19 doesn't have one). I don't recommend keeping your anchor on the bow pulpit as there is a chance that you'll snag your headsail on it (speaking from experience). I have a 26M mast carrier on the stern of both boats, with a SS Sealux Stanchion ...

Admiral

I've been on this site since 1/10/2004, and I'm only a captain. I should be at least a 2 star admiral by now. Why is that?
One of life's mysteries.
