Too tame - Scat 27?

Too tame Scat -27?

LOA - 26.9'
Beam 8.2'

[Duane Dunn, Allegro]

Found one other picture of a model. A Mac with style. I like how they advertise Russsian ideas, Dutch quality, Italian design. Like the deck angle for visibility when nose high under power and the high forward steering position. Cool cockpit. Where so I get one?

Duane,
That boat either has very, very skinny cockpit seats, or a beam that's much wider than 8.5 feet. Agree, the modle is a very nice looking mockup. The Scat website says they're building in aluminum and steel. Hmmmm - wonder what that puppy would weigh?

Gee, I wonder if they'll take an Odin 820 in trade LOL !!! I am having trouble imagining how that hull shape would sail. It looks like it would be a GREAT hull form for powerboating. Then again, it almost looks like a catamarran. This will be interesting to watch.

FINALLY....a worthy upgrade path from a Mac26X (this is what I want to sail to Hawaii on!):

Check it out... http://www.powersail.co.nz/index.html
Of course, they forgot to list the price, guess if you have to ask, you can't afford it.

[Jack O'Brien]

Pshaw! Nuttin but a big 26X wid a cupple extras - like the odor remover in the "en suite" bowl.

Maybe if all of us here sold all of our boats and got one of these we could time-share it and sail off to Nirvanna.

Dimitri,
Yowser, I have been saving my pennies for a Mac 65.....this thing blows just about any Yacht I've ever seen out of the water! I'd sure like to ogle it if one ever hits the market here though! Gotta be a couple of mil for that puppy for sure, but talk about lux, I am sure if they can get it off the board, and on the water, it will sell! It can be sailed with a crew of 2!!! A bit over 4' draft, man, I can't stop looking at the features.

But then again it is designed only...now let's see one built!

[Tony D-26X_SusieQ]

When are they going to start taking orders on that thing? Can you tow it behind a Taurus?

Wait, don't place that order, Mr Guest can have it built for you cheaper than a Mac.

[Mark Prouty]

Erik,

Thanks for looking that up. I got to get one to put on top of my next powerboat.



Or would that be considered conspicous consumption?
