I believe he said something on TV about it swaying and getting out of control

Hi All, Having gone back to a power boat I still log in here a lurk occassionally. I saw this story on the news yesterday and not sure if it's someone from this forum or not. It did not appear from the photo it suffered too much damage, however, I would imagine the hull taking some serious scraping ...

Very relevant considering what just happened in Central Florida this past weekend, God Bless theem and their family. See link below

Hey Louis,
sorry my mailbox here was full.
Good to hear from you and good to hear Lance found a home for Exodus!

Just curious if anyone else has noticed the same thing...... I have my 26M up for sale and during a showing last weekend a guy and his family who seemed very interested, were below decks and said "What's that smell?" I immediately thought "Oh Crap", (no pun intended) the kids had...

I found mine on this site http://jaxed.com/cgi-bin/mash.cgi?itm=macgregor&cat=cpboat . The site blends the regional Craigs List adds into a single list. It took about 4 months after I got serious about buying to find a boat in the price and travel range to find my :macx: . Fair winds, Dan nice ...

Please excuse my ignorance here, but my question is, based on the fact that it seems to only have two outlets..... can you hook the EU to your shore power plug-in and if so can you run your normal applinaces from there, or on the same note can you hook it to a power surge strip and run up tp 4 or 5 ...

Nice,
nice of you to insult a fellow Mac enthusiast. Bubba!

Nowadays I am lucky if I can get 13-14 MPH but boat conditions are markedly different. I guess anything up to 20MPH is believable given favourable conditions but it can sound like a stretch to some folks who never see those speeds. :P Hey Terry, that's exactly why I named the thread the way I did. ...

Pure jealousy my friend, don't worry about it!!!

Wonderful, Good speeds eh! Don't worry about us northern folks, I will be in Florida in less than 90 days which is fine with me. My Mac continues to impress me.

[quote="TAM"]Always fun. With an empty water tank, only 6 gal fuel, and single handed, I hit just over 18 knots. quote]

Wow, 18 knots, now that's fast!!! I thought I was doing good at 16.5, good for you. I'll try next time on glassy waters!!!

I took a long weekend this week and after meeting all family obligations :wink: I got the day to myself out on the water yesterday. I decided to experiment a little because usually I have the Admiral and two kids onboard. First, I sailed with no ballast in, I know several of you have done this alrea...

What a great thread, I've enjoyed all the pictures. Big T- I'm also in central Florida, how long did it take you to go from Canaveral to Sebastian on the outside? Did you sail or motor that leg? I've been wanting to do the opposite direction form Canaveral to New Smyrna on the outside and come back ...

Thanks for the feedback guys, however, I was referring to the following ad specifically: "FOR SALE :Selling boat call me before, I have qualified clients around the World If you are thinking about selling your Macgregor either M or X model please take the time and read this message. I have sold...
