Well, I’m 69 and still at it, so I guess it ain’t that difficult! That being said, Jan and I are leading our scouts on a trip to Philmont Scout Ranch this summer. For those who don’t know, Philmont is a very large plot of land in northeastern New Mexico, where Scouts can go on 12 day backpacking tr...

Thanks for the link. I hadn't seen any 2" drop axels. I like the idea of a 5200lb axel but I just bought new wheels, tires, brakes and bearings last year. So I'll stick to 3500 lbs and maybe add a second one later.

Thanks. Yes my axel looks to have about a 2" drop. I'll do the measurements and see what I can find.

I like the mod you did with the sliding rails.

I need to replace the axel on my Macgregor 26X original trailer. What are the specs of that axel? Does anyone have a good online source for buying one? The rest of the trailer is in pretty good shape and I just replaced the surge brake system. I'll probably look for a dual axel aluminum trailer in t...

I needed a replacement for my 2005 toyota Sienna to pull my 26x that I got at the end of last year. The Sienna with 3500 towing capacity towed it OK but was 17 years old and time for an upgrade. We looked at Kia Telluride, and Toyota Highlander but those were almost impossible to find, and the deale...

I found a direct replacement'

It even matches the reference number stamped on the side of the old prop: No.48- 85632A45

My prop: https://i.postimg.cc/q6rcgpm0/20210831-104244.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/8j0Hmgcd/20210831-110412.jpg Is that 8.8 x 11? The prop measures 10" in diameter. Maybe it used to be 10.88" LOL. I guess I'm looking for a 10.88 x 11 prop. I haven't found a direct replacement yet. Any suggest...

I just noticed the typo in my subject line. I have a 2001 not 2021 26x. But you knew that since a 2021 doesn't exist. I'm actually from Erie (Girard, PA) and learned to sail on my buddy's dad's boat at Presque Isle Yacht Club. I crewed a few races with them. I hope to do a lot of sailing in Erie. My...

Thanks guys! Lots of good info I'm still looking at. 1. A second motor is a low priority right now. Lake Arthur at Moraine SP is a small lake and I would only use the motor for raising and lowering sails and getting back when the wind dies. I don't know how strict enforcement is. If I'm using my 50H...

I've owned an O'Day day sailor for over 40 years and have wanted a bigger boat for a long time but I couldn't find one that fit my needs until I heard about the MacGregors. I got it in the water last week but there was no wind so I haven't sailed it yet. The original 50 HP Mercury 2 stroke ran great...
