Hello! There are a lot of attributes that the Macgregor has that make it just right for me. Like you said fuel, 9 inches of draft when ballast empty and keel up make it great for inshore boating too. But the value for the cost is great on these boats. The mast thing, kinda crazy - but it works. Thanks so much for watching!
Yes, I am back, planning some other trips now, just have to have the weather and boats all participate. I do need to get back in the water too. Once again, thanks for watching.
That was fun. Every time I have to rig some contraption I think of you. What would Chris do? Don't know but wish he was here. Take care and have fun. Gotta go make a sandwich.
Hello Dave! I wish you guys did live closer. There would be some fun times - I miss the lobsteh and clams a lot! The next video is not as calm... but fun. Thanks once again for your support and friendship!
Thanks for the good info. Can you share a link for the aluminum tube you got in place of the mast? Also on my 26x i plan to remove the cables from the stanchions and weld the same size stainless steel tubing as a sturdy rail to grab. I got the idea from the Mac forum.
Hello David, I added the link in the vid description area too. amzn.to/3wqjRBV Hmmm, cool idea on the stanchions - are you considering making them taller as well? Hey, thanks for watching! More to come
@@ChristopherQuest I'm planning to just run the stainless rail on top of the existing stanchions. Thank you for the aluminum pipe link. I am thinking I may be able to repair my broken mast with that pipe.
The mast thing is awesome! MacGregors make a great cabin cruiser that uses very little gas.

try using dyneema line for holding the pole steady. strong stuff that dyneema.
Hello again John, This is a good idea, I will look into that for sure. The 1" wide straps seemed like a good idea, but not! Thanks for watching.
If you put a twist in the straps they won't rattle in the wind.
Hello, wish I would have thought of that! Thanks, I will definitely try that the next time for sure! Thanks for watching!
