For obvious reasons, my ultra-fast MacGregor 26 wasn't on the list,
despite the rantings of some sicko anti-Mac posters.

Jim



I'd be happy to add it for you. Is it ultra fast with or without the
50 horse?

It's just plain fast. So fast that you probably wouldn't notice it passing
you.

Jim



Right. Sure. I'm glad you like your boat.


That's refreshing.

I have come to believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If Jim
likes his boat, if it serves his needs, then who am I to denegrate it. From
what I've read of when and where he sails, he does just fine with it. I know
(I hope) he's smart enough not to exceed its limitations, which is true for
all of us who sail (or don't I suppose).

10,000 Frenchmen with ugly wives can't be wrong.

Macs have quite a following. Still my preferred boat for a
week-ender, short coastal jaunt boat in skinny Florida waters.
Cheap to buy one that's ready, and I don't like wood on a boat.
I don't even care about the speed aspect, motor or otherwise.
Different strokes.
Whatever it takes to get on the water and wake Neal.
