My wife said that she liked the 26X better than the 26M, so we have the 26X. Therefore the 26X must be better.

Sounds like a sweet deal. Bought my 97X the same way - sigh unseeen, No regrets.

Jelouse of your Bigfoot. My 50HP Merc is nice, but no a Bigfoot.

How robust?...

Not nearly enough to survive several attempts at hauling out in the locked down position! Jus sayin'!

:D :D Something I don't understand about this character... He's suddenly free of marital entanglements and has a boat and classic pickup in San Diego, and he wants to kill himself? Why? That'd be like living the life of Riley! Also, isn't an AMT .380 backup a 5+1? How does he get eight shots? Oh wai...

You really need to be more specific. I have a 97X. My old style rudders (and I have an extra set from ebay - just in case) - seem to be holding up fine after 10 years and after having had to repair/weld the rudder brackets (of which I also have an extra set re: ebay). 8) How robust are the MacGregor...

Ditto 8) I've heard it said, and rightly so, that the X and the M are two completely different boats, despite their superficial similarities. Best answer to these questions would come from someone who's owned and operated both designs. The answer will depend, to a degree, on how you want to use the ...

I distinctly remember the monopoly man having a monocle. :) On his webpage, Mighetto / s/v Murrelet had a picture and paragraph of a transom extension that Macgregor was supposedly testing but never offered. I also came across a pic of a Mac with a full transom width stainless steel / teak swim plat...

I do this, I have 6 tanks total (two are spare), but for the last 10 years I've only had two mounted in my X, the left side is used for misc. item storage. 8) I like having storage in the cockpit so I would probably keep a 12 gallon tank on one side, and a smaller tank on the other so that you can s...

Would this fit on a 97X?

Genoa, RF, luff 21.82', leech 21.49', foot 16.73'

Apparently the screws that screw the spreader base into the mast do not come with the stuff from BWY. Any idea what sizes are needed?

I'm looking for a pair of 1997 Macgregor 26X mast speader bars (and the boots that cover the ends).

Suggestions are welcome

That's it. Called BWY - got voice mail - sent an e-mail. Called CDI, they answered and I ordered. They did mention that dealer prices may be less. 8) I have a 97X with a CDI Flexible Furler. I noticed today while going over my baby that the CDI Flexible Furler gray section is cracked. :( Anyone know...

Anyone know what length I need and good places to replace it?

You backed up for 1/2 a mile?

Launch ramp was 1/2 mile long just to reach water.

You can use videos IF your device (computer, etc.) has the necessary "oomph". I have found that 16 GB of RAM seems to be key. When I try it with 8 GB or RAM or less, still backgrounds only. 8) Since the Coronavirus pandemic, I have been using Zoom bi-weekly, and using a variety of virtual background...
