But if all is good with Bill @ Boats 4 sail I may well be your newest 26 M owner on the board.

Bill @ Boats for Sale seems to be a good guy and I always like to do business with good people. It helps that he is a member of this board as well.
Is the Boat being shipped to you? or are you going to pick it up in the states?
Regards

I agree Bill seems to be a great guy and I will be picking the boat up at his place as we only part-time on Cozumel . we have a home and a business there but we are absentee owners so to speak. His check should be in the mail as I sit, and I will pick the boat up this spring
Heading down to Cozumel again soon for sailing lessons
Maybe I should have learned before. . . . . . . . . I bought

Congratulations Divecoz on getting a 26M. We all know they are faster that a 26X. Just kidding, I don't want to get a flame thread started like the one on the subject of "planing."

I still believe the white M is faster. After all, by definition the white boat is lighter.

Mark,
but isn't doing that off the transom enough thrust to make a difference in hull speed. I mean really.........why the liner.....???
