Here is an article about the

boat reviews, after Hunter is also an advtiser...

There are several
MacGregor 26 boats here that are basically the same
concept. One was
lost when the owner tried to sail it before filling the
water ballast and she broached, filled with
water and settled upright but still floating at "deck" level. I think the Hunter needs the same caution about sailng mode vs. powerboat mode.
I never sailed thwe
MacGregor but sailed against them in many races. Bottom line is the Mac 26
sails like a pig. Apologies to any M26 owners...
If you must have a powerboat and a sailboat it may be the choice for some. If you want a great powerboat or a great sailboat then these "hybrids" in my mind don't fit either bill very well. My opnion and yours may be different.
There is one
family who gets out a lot and enjoy their boat very much.
Here is a thread I found with a discussion of these boats.
