Re: I am now a sailboat owner... 26’ MacGregor

Only the 26X and 26M specifically take a big motor and go fast. Rarely go for under $10-15K

The other 26s just putter along with a little one, like most trailer sailors. Often go for a grand or...

Re: I am now a sailboat owner... 26’ MacGregor

27 knots average RTW, wow

I see a "displacement hull catamaran" has a higher hull speed than a monohull

What are the "non-displacement" types?

And do they throw the normal rules out the...

Re: I am now a sailboat owner... 26’ MacGregor

Yep that one's "just a sailboat" sequel to the Mac 25 / Venture

not the famous 20+ mph powerboat with a mast, 26X then 26M.

Despised by snobby "true sailors", but lots of fun and very practical...

Re: I am now a sailboat owner... 26’ MacGregor

The Mac 25 won't work with a big engine, but if that is a 26M it surely will, even higher than 70HP, but for little added advantage.

With a little putt putt you've got a sailboat, much greener,...

Re: I am now a sailboat owner... 26’ MacGregor

Sienna has strut + coil style springs in the rear.

Re: I am now a sailboat owner... 26’ MacGregor

Use the Suburban, 100x safer.

It's not what you can pull that matters, it's braking and handling when SHTF and a heavier TV is always much much better.

Plus added loads that are inevitable IRL...

Sienna - barely, on the flat going slow, maybe.

If you don't have the tow package, add a transmission cooler, and a trannie temp gauge, and **watch it**, that's your weak link.
