Sept. issue of Sail mag. has the Tattoo 26 and the Tattoo 22 listed in the new boat section. The 26 looks the same as the M, and the 22 has a different look.

I think it's either the basket-ball court or the President Grant Drinking Room.

Maybe it's fer smugglin' stuff... or hopefully it's cockpit accessed storage, like on real sailboats! :wink:

Nine years ago, when I was actively making inquiries about an M, I asked a dealer about the reality of that Ford Taurus ( pictured in the brochure) pulling a Mac. The dealer said he asked Rodger about how he got a Taurus to pull a Mac, and he said the reply was “I did not tell the Taurus :!: )

It seems that despite any truth in advertising laws that may be out there, you can make any claim you wish. If you get caught, that's life. Who got hurt anyway? :( I still bought the boat, but from a different dealer. The first guy died before we could finalize. :(

The Pictures I saw showed a Ford Crown Victoria with the 4.6 V-8 and there was No Motor hanging off the back .. I towed my M for numerous years with a Ford Explorer Sport 4.0 HO V-6
There is a member or 2 here towing with much smaller vehicles than mine was.. IIRC 1 tows with a Subaru :D :D

Yeah, but you don't tow with the ballast full. Try to get 27 with the ballast full. _I get 22
