Ethanol or no Ethanol the higher octane gives better gas mileage . The non ethanol is even better on mileage. now you might not see the difference in the city with stop and go traffic. but if you are taking a trip and will be driving on the interstate. fill up with a low octane fuel zero your odomet...

My first venture Macgregor 25 was found like that. picked it up for $1200 . picked up a trailer around the corner from my house the same day because the original trailer rotted away under the boat. brought it home changed the sheaves and went sailing. Sold it 2or 3 years later to put my son through ...

The boat is still there. Im working as fast as I can . I sold one of my toys and some junk in the back yard and got just under 3000 together . I need to sell a few more toys and she will be mine.

you know I never noticed the numbers were missing. the guy said he bought it for 20,000 and put it in the water a grand total of three times. said he has everything in the boat. even has a motor for an extra charge. Im in the proses of trying to sell some of my toys to get the money together. I will...

So the guy wants 8,000 for it I hope I can get the money together before its sold. I think im going to start selling some of my toys so I can get it . it just seems like its going to take a wile . Is there any one that is a live aboard on there 26?

Mardigras has been over for a wile now so you are probably back home .but down here in New Orleans The Southern Yacht Club puts on sailboat races every wed as long as there is no lightning. and most will let you crew on there boat . you will see most sail boats from the Causway (the 25 mile bridge t...

just read the blog and had to youtube the classical music he plays wile I read. Would a passage to Hawaii in a 26 M be a realistic thought or not enough boat for off shore waters. Ive heard of a married couple going to the Bahamas from Miami in a 25 venture . Really its a pipe dream of mine to do a ...

Yes its oxidized, faded, and needs a good cleaning to get all the green off the sides and scum line off the bottom.

Talked to the neighbor and sounded like she would like to see it leave. here is a pic.

No there is no sign on the boat. I just was going to do like you said . I ve done it time and time again with vintage cars most of the time people are willing to sell. especially if it s been sitting dormant for a long time . Im going to give it a shot most they can do is say no.

Thanks will let yall know how it works out . might be a few weeks but I ll get over there to see.

Ok so I had a ventur 25 and sold it to get my son through school. now im looking for another trailer sailor . I will not go smaller than the 25 I had . I found a 26M its been sitting on the side of a house on the trailer for many years. I would say at least 10. paint is faded not sure if its got a m...

Thanks guys. I always get good answaers on this site. I aint worried about the gators they don't like the lake to much but they love all the little canals. and the spot I have chosen is not in the way of any of the shrimp boats. might get a few early morning fishers casting a line but no trafic.

I 've owned my Magregor venture 25 for 5 years now and have only day sailed. but have always wanted to camp out on my boat in Lake Pointchatrain. The other day I got to speek with a guy on the New Orleans Cost Guard and he said I could camp out on the lake as long as I was not anchored near any main...
