I remember that it took me over 40 hours to complete from start to end. It was worth it, but i agree it's tough on the old body, i was sore for a week afterwards.

i had the blister issue with my 2008M, i sanded them all down, made sure they were dry, then i prepped the bottom and used Interlux 2000 for the bottom coat, i used intervals of white and grey to make sure i got complete coverage. I used up all the paint i had purchased, i think it ended up with 6 c...

Hi, im looking at boating on the Rideau Canal in the next couple of weeks, mostly the lower part around Newboro lake, does anyone suggest the best place to park Truck and Trailer?

Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

We also received 18" of snow on the US/Canada Border, Canadian side near Malone NY. Snow is to deep to get to my boat

never thought of the baskatong to sail in.

I bent my mast this year, found a replacement, good thing for insurance. I decided to go the summer without the mast. Will have it ready for the fall.

Well i am curious, I asked them for pricing. It should be interesting, i know they manufacture power boats I have seen them at various trade shows.

For anyone near Montreal
Where do you launch your boat from? I am still looking for good boat launches.

Enjoy, makes me remember when we picked up our new Mac 26M, and took it on it's 8 hour trip back home. And spending the first few nights on it, anchored out on next to an island enjoying a beautiful sunset. Remember the great memories you are making, they need to last a lifetime.

I wish I could fly my boat over, it would be fun to join other Mac owners for a change.

I find you get used to the noises as long as you can identify them. It's those odd ones that keep you up. We have spent up to 3 weeks on our M and I sleep great, better than at home. I find I can only de-stress on the water.

I finally finished bottom coating my 26M, it took about 40 hours in total. It's a lot of under the boat time. I ended up using 3.5 gallons of Interprotect 2000e, I hope that will be enough to eliminate the blister problem.

Thanks for the reply, my other question is does it make sense to wax the bottom coat for extra protection.

My question is, if you trailer sail most of the time, i might spend 2 weeks on the water at a time. I did just bottom coat my 26M with 7 coats of 2000E interlux, do i really need to ad antifouling? or is the bottom coat enough to avoid blisters.
