Curious how it compares to a mast less Mac with a custom foam core pilot house addon, my plan for when I can no longer sail. That and an electric windlass mod.

Interior space is actually larger. The cabin is wider and over 6 foot headroom from port to starboard. The helm seat flip forward to give you 2 feet more of galley countertop. The head is larger and.... a shower !! the step down v berth is spacious and allows for 2 couches during the day. The quarter berth will be a great storage area. There is little more than toe space to walk to the bow. The swim step is awesome. so easy to get in and out. The cockpit might be the same size but without the hem it is all usable!
The ref ridge/freezer is large and 6 gal hot water heater provides hot water when you want it. Electric stove. but it has an onboard diesel generator.

Oh, nice! That's my dream tow vehicle (or the similar size Chevy Suburban), but I don't think DW would care much for that, as she thinks it's too big for her to drive. Never mind she drive an Odyssey, which is about the same overall size (though a fair bit lighter). :D

Think we should change the name of the post from 'Adios' to 'Life and Time of a Mac Sailor'....
first comes 'MacSailors.com', then a Mac, then a Tug, then 'Mac Assisted Living'...
Ok I got it now.... plan to fight off the last one 'til the end.
Steve, it's good to know you are still on the water. Keep tugging!
