To all that have given a opinion on my trailer concerns, Thank you! I'm leaning towards the garage ceiling as it would be very accessible.

Re: New Owner / Member With Questions

Todd & Ris, Thanks for the responses, I'm a traditionalist and even tho I've seen many Mac's with the name port & starboard, fore & aft I've got to say the transom is all about us. Plan to split Salty Dog II both sides of motor well, with our home port under the the well at the water lin...

Re: New Owner / Member With Questions

Hey Starscream, Point well taken, can't miss your vessels " BEAR HUNT " especially as you say going thru locks and such. I happen to notice you don't have to display any type of registration number or province location? Is that the way they do things in Canada? Are you going to be able to ...

Re: New Owner / Member With Questions

Macgregor Owners, To all those who have a name on your boat, I've noticed (Macgregors especially and others) many do place the name on both sides of the hull.

It's not that I'm looking for approval on my purchase or anything, but its a relief to hear I'm not the only one who has had this experience of...
