1986 MacGregor 24

Post by srreality »

I've run across what is advertised as a 1986 MacGregor 24. It needs what sounds like minor work, so I'm going to look at it in a couple of days. I cannot find much information on a MacGregor 24. In fact, the MacGregor store directs me to a MacGregor Venture 24. I thought the Venture name disappeared long before 1986. In any case, I'm looking for a fresh water boat for lakes in Colorado. It will mostly be moored in a lake near Loveland, Colorado, but I might trailer it occasionally to other lakes. The price is right at $2500, with a Honda 7.5HP engine, newer trailer, newer sails, etc. , but needing rigging work and roller furling work. Since I haven't seen it yet, it's probably premature to ask the forum about it, but I'm doing my due diligence prior to seeing it. Can anyone out there tell me about MacGregor 24s?

Thanks for the info/website. I'll be able to check the hull ID to see what this boat is - - perhaps it's a 1986 MacGregor 25.

This boat's Hull ID is MACR4 636 E686 - - - a Macgregor 24, hull ID 636, built June, 1986. Not many built compared to other models. In any case, the boat needs too much work for me.
