Hi Newell,

Let see, an RV hauling a, Mac26X, :macx: Mac26D, and a smart car. You going to look like a "train" on wheels with all that :D. What size motor does the RV have? Must be a Cummins or GM Diesel :P. The Northshore Scenic drive on Lake Mead from Overton to Echo Bay Marina cannot take that amount of traffic :D .

If you wish to export your product, then consider the 7'11" beam carefully.
If you exceed it, your costs change completely, and all of a sudden you are no longer in the same market place as MacGregor.

Cheers

I think this potential new boat got out of the MacGregor box a long while back. We are not really talking about a powersailor here, from all discussions I have read. Probably not the same market nor the same buyers, similar but not the same.
