How does she tow behind that Ford Ranger ? Is THAT A 4x4 does it have air shocks anything else that might be special? Was it a long trip 10 miles 100 miles? Speeds what speeds did you attain?

Ford Ranger , rear drive. 4 L As is........

Speeds what speeds did you attain?

O, boy, over 100km/h I couldn't follow him... See photo...

so are you going to do your three headsail mod?

Is the liner now white? On other years for M's it is a light tan

Perhaps that's just an issue with the camera's white balance? It looks more tan towards the bow (near the end of the video) where the lighting isn't so bright.

Highlander,

Congratulations. I had grown fond of that Mac 19, where is it?

I look forward to the adventures of your new ship.

She came with the new mac furl er for the jib , if I like the mac furl er I'll order another for the Genny if not I'll buy another furl er for the Genny maybe a CDI ! , also came with 2 fore stays , 2 sets of spreaders , 3 mast hounds so when the bowsprit is fitted she'll be a four head sail cutter rig with three furlers just like the pony !

96 ford ranger XLT super cab with 6ft box 2 whl drive 4ltr v6 eng. auto trans stock suspension A/T lug tires , with the trl dropped on the receiver ball she dropped from 17" down to 14 1/2 " that 2 1/2" drop pretty much levelled out the trk as she sits a$$ high when mty as seen in this pic so with the eng. mounted & loaded with gear I think this is how she will sit so I will buy an adjustable receiver and raise her up about 3"-4" ! trip was approx 175km cruised happily at 100kmh highest top speed attained was 120kmh top speed on the really really steep hills was down to 80kmh & "I mean Steep" but maintained 100kmh on most steep hills. She towed along just fine you wouldn't know she was even there I had to keep reminding myself I was towing a boat when passing other cars & making turns !!! , I may install the coiled heavy duty shocks that come with three adjustable setting light 500#, medium 1000#, heavy duty 1500# set them for 1500# and install on the rear axle they do not affect the ride of the trk when mty only when loaded I've installed them on all my other trks they really stiffen up the rear suspension when loaded 'towing" on turns or when making sharp unavoidable lane changes "like when suddenly some else decides its time they left the freeway !!!"


Quebec1

Dan & myself were saying its nice to have a friend in Quebec City no need to tow a boat there

Niceaft

Thx again my friend, by the way I do have a senorita I met her in the DR she lives in Quebec city & invited me up there for the Winter Carnival I just got back last week went there for 5days ended up staying 7days ! That's when I met up with Quebec 1 & Kayak Dan. Going back up there again for Easter wk-end for 4 days

Beene

yours , mine , but I'll come up to Simcoe for sea trails then we can both rip around with both boats that'll open up some eyes when we go flying past Hooters on the waterfront at 28mph but I'll make the return pass a slow one with my binouclars in hand !

Nice looking boat, can't wait to see pics of her Cutter rigged. Have to admit I miss the wood window trim, I thought it added a bit of class. It looks so plain inside now.

kevin will be making you window trims in Basswood, no doubt, with the grain aligned to spell your name...

He does this, because he can....
