Re: 26M Head

Standard rectangular tank for both. The one in the V wanted to slide around a bit so I epoxied some short lengths of 2x4 to make a bit of a tray for it. If you want to, PM me your email address and when I get a chance I'll send you some pictures.

Re: 26M Head

tek, I used solid tanks for both, 10 gal. if I remember correctly. My impression, when I was laying things out, was that the tank under the dinette seat sat a little lower in the boat. I figured that's where I would want the waste to be in case of a leaking hose or fitting. If a hose or fitting leak...

Re: 26M Head

This was one of the first mods I made to my M.
I installed the freshwater tank under the V berth and the holding tank under the forward dinette seat.

Re: MacG to cease product'n in CA. New boat to be made in FL

On the other hand, if those involved in this new venture are aware of what is written on this forum, I'm sure they're thrilled that they've generated this much buzz before they've even built a single boat. I can't think of anyone who would say, "I'm trying to start a new business that will manu...

Re: mods: inapprorate post in "sale" section.

I am however confused as to what this business is about. I see this ad in the classified section, this implies they sell used boats. However there website has no mention of any used boats for sale at all. The first word in the title of both of Bill's ads on the classifieds is "New". You m...

Re: What happened to Kelly-Hanson?

30 BBB complaints in the past 12 months and a bureau rating of "F", who cares what Kelly Hanson requests?

...just checked the MacGregor website, still advertising 24mph under power with a 60HP. Nope, never gonna happen. 18-19mph is easily doable though with the 60.

Mine make a pretty good place to hang coiled lines. I had a guy on board once who asked "mind if I can see what she'll do?" I replied, "sure go ahead." He asked me where my winch handle was and after thinking about it for a minute I responded, "down below in the box it came ...
