The new Tattoo
Sept. issue of Sail mag. has the Tattoo 26 and the Tattoo 22 listed in the new boat section. The 26 looks the same as the M, and the 22 has a different look.

Re: The new Tattoo
I was surprised by the claim it has a enclosed potty- and will go 20 mph.

Maybe it's fer smugglin' stuff... or hopefully it's cockpit accessed storage, like on real sailboats!kmclemore wrote:I think it's either the basket-ball court or the President Grant Drinking Room.RussMT wrote:What's that space under the cockpit?

Re: The new Tattoo
Nine years ago, when I was actively making inquiries about an M, I asked a dealer about the reality of that Ford Taurus ( pictured in the brochure) pulling a Mac. The dealer said he asked Rodger about how he got a Taurus to pull a Mac, and he said the reply was “I did not tell the TaurusI was surprised by the claim it has a enclosed potty- and will go 20 mph.
It seems that despite any truth in advertising laws that may be out there, you can make any claim you wish. If you get caught, that's life. Who got hurt anyway?

Re: The new Tattoo
The Pictures I saw showed a Ford Crown Victoria with the 4.6 V-8 and there was No Motor hanging off the back .. I towed my M for numerous years with a Ford Explorer Sport 4.0 HO V-6
There is a member or 2 here towing with much smaller vehicles than mine was.. IIRC 1 tows with a Subaru

Re: The new Tattoo
Yeah, but you don't tow with the ballast full. Try to get 27 with the ballast full. _I get 22
