Hull Color

Great Looking Macgregor "M" Photos

My M is white. Black stripe on the hull. Black sail boot and black cushions across the cockpit. The boat looks really good! Much classier than the MacGregor price would indicate.

Last summer was our first season and I was pleased with the amount of people who came over to compliment me on owning such a nice boat.

I always buy white cars because of low maintenance. My 2005M also
is white for the same reason. White always holds up better over time.

agreed, white cars hold their shine longest, and are the safest color especially at night, for being visible. Same for boats. If you put your hand on any other color car, and then on a white car, in sunlight, you will see the difference. The other colors absorb heat which is transmitted inside the car/boat, which in the South, eventually results in breaking down plastics, fading upholstery, loosening adhesives, and splitting vinyl.

Jeff,
Congrats! It's a great boat.
I'm on the fence as to which one looks better. I think they both look great. I voted white because that's what I bought and the scuff marks plus I didn't want to buy into Roger's scam of charging $495 for blue. I guess the justification is the blue boats are faster

They-Theirs..."awesome photos"...
The M is a nice looking boat...white or blue

We saw the white first. Then we saw a blue one on a trailer..and was like ....WOW..that looks AWESOME...

Still we ordered a white.. Then the dealer said he had blue hulls in stock, would sell it for the white price..didn't have to twist my arm on getting the blue. We had a blue powerboat..the blue held up well after 12-13 years of use. Of course when we got our blue M, the blue looked worse than our well used powerboat. I have since got it looking better. But I wish the factory would make a more durable blue gelcoat that won't scratch if it was brushed by anything more agressive than silk.

Would still get the blue again..just am blown away at the real crappy condition our hull was in upon delivery (not going to rehash that here) The white looks great..but the blue looks awesome!

This certainly looks more expensive than a $17,000 boat:

TT sure does manage to find some beautiful pix, Randy. Candidly though, I'd prefer being linked to a nice album for viewing them. A page of thumbnails is lots easier to scan, rather than the long skinny format in this forum ...

how bout it TT - got a page of thumbs that's easier to view?

I believe you are correct Frank. I have thought of doing something like that, but I dont know how set up the group of pictures. Ill work on it. Also, they cut viewing off for my Photo Bucket account after the postings of trailer Powersailors and sailboats over the holidays. Photo Bucket said I needed a commercial account or pay for premium viewing. I enjoyed sharing and getting all the ideas from each to ponder over the Mac. Roger might just use some for the next new Model.

The really nice mountian lake photos from our web site were taken by one of our owners at Jackson Lake Wyoming.

As to hull color, I'm kind of partial to my Black one, but if you think Blue is more work to maintain, just try Black. In less than a year in the water we have about 30 hours into buffing and waxing to keep the finish as nice as we like it. Good thing we can't afford a Black 65!!

Ahhh, black, yes I like it too, my TrailBlazer is black, my old 78 F150 was black and we had a black Mustang, all were very difficult to keep clean. I have a sort of sky blue colored '94 Mark VIII that seems to appear clean even when it is dirty, I guess it does not show as readily. I do notice on our wet west coast that black or white cars always look the dirtiest as they do not hide the dirt very well, although the white cars would really disappear in snowy climates, therefore they may go unnoticed. It seems to me that white would be no easier to keep clean than any other color so maintenance is not an issue. Black may be warmer up here in the Pacific Northwest but I doubt that southerners would like it. Still think Blue is prettier though.

Blue's my favorite color.

The Mac looks great in either color, with blue striking my fancy. As a bonus, my Wrangler's blue (same color, oddly enough).

The white hull looks very clean and traditional with a more stocky presence.

The blue hull accentuates her lines and makes her look leaner and more elegant, I feel.

I love blue.
