Right here in my hometown. Think I can single hand it?
I hope the price isn't a typo!

I could buy it. But I see that a lot with people that buy aircraft. Could never afford to maintain it.

What a great deal.
On a whim I just bought it. They guy said he won't take a personal or bank check. Something about being screwed before. So I wired the funds to his bank in Singapore.
Woot...who want's to go sailing?

We have 3 large lakes:
Fort Peck - Has 1500 miles of shoreline
Canyon Ferry Lake - 30 x 5 miles wide (closest to us)
Flathead Lake 27 x 15 miles wide
The reason we bought a Mac was because our lake is big, however it has no marina lift facilities. Every boat on there comes in on trailer wheels.
I suppose you could crane in a Mac 65.

These "too good to be true" deals on Craig's list usually go the same way. The seller is overseas in the military, the boat is in a marina in another country that won't allow anyone to see it. "That's why it's such a good price." They will guarantee satisfaction, and use an "escrow service" which is a scam. Request to do it through ebay, and they will bail.

Yea, we got plenty of water, the problem is I'd need a crane to launch it each year and the Mac65 is butt ugly and not very comfortable inside.
This boat is at our lake now and I'm looking at it. It would be a fast boat. The cabin seems small though.

If I could get this thing on wheels so we could launch it with the marina truck, this is what I'd buy. I had a friend who had one. Nice boat.
