Re: I did a thing...
Nice trailer there. It appears that the tongue flips 180 degrees to be shorter, for travel, and the configuration it is now in is for launching only. That must be a really wide turn, using that? If the jack is mounted further back in the triangle section behind the winch mount, you could see if you ...

Re: Macs in the News!
I'm pretty sure that the post may still exist where a Mac X owner in North Carolina towed his with a Corvette. Don't know how far or if the trailer had brakes, but most likely it did. Oh, and he also had a Suzuki DF-140 on the transom, as well! :D So easily over 4K lbs. His sailing buddy did as well...

Re: Where are the "old guard" of this forum?
I had grand plans of starting the year off by taking folks out on the Mac, to learn or hone their sailing skills, and had many responders in a local forum I am on. Five were serious, but life, as usual got in the way, as I was tending to and laser focused on my wife's final days, which was priority ...

Re: Where are the "old guard" of this forum?
Tom, You’re near Hershey; where do you go sailing? Yes, I am, and Annapolis is my favorite place, there is always wind. While I was Physically laid up, as mostly a Land Lubber, to get my sailing bug, I mostly use my Hobie Tandem Island Trimaran in local lakes and Annapolis as well. It is the best t...

Re: Where are the "old guard" of this forum?
Still tickin' here. Took quite a lickin' in life's journey though. I was a member back when the Mac group was just a forum, and on here since day one, as well. Was considering selling, but my health issues have improved dramatically, so should be on the water soon, I hope. Still see a lot of the &qu...

Re: Help!!! Where's Heath?
No, I am not wanting another boat! I cannot work the Deck anymore, due to a Bad Back! L-2 to L-5 are shot! That's life! I was hoping I could have it resolved, but doubt it now!

Ahoy, Landlubber to become Seabourne once again!
Hello all! I see many new names, but quite a few blasts from the past here, as well! It looks like my Sailing days are back once again? Thanks to efforts of a helper to get my Mac X going again, I may be sailing the East Coast! Long story, short, I moved out of California because I could NOT retire ...

Re: 26X prop help please.....
I see that Piranha is coming out with a new prop called the Hydro Bite! I called and they said that it is ONLY available for the Higher Horsepower Powerheads, but they are expanding it to smaller engines soon! They say it gets more torque and speed out of this 4 blade model! I will be buying that on...
