not used much but left neglected,

Boat and trailor looks in good shape apart from a few repairable chips and he reports blisters, although i cant see on the photos. The honda 4 stroke 50 is also a great motor

Yea, i second what the other guys said, try to avoid anything that looks neglected and just check the hull over to be sure there's no blisters and general neglect there, especially on an exposed hull with no paint. i started doing a bit of reading up on it when i saw the 2001 :macx: on yachtworld fo...

If youre around the Wisconsin area then give Bill at Boats for Sale a call, the guys on the forum say he's a pleasure to deal with and he'll give you a good deal. He has a nice low cost deck package that includes all the essential bits you need to get you going without ripping a hole in your pocket ...

I found the info on Rogers boat, it's a 2003 so it doesnt look like too bad a deal, the link i got it from was http://www.macgregorsailboats.com/specials.html and it reads Also available: 26X with merc 50hp, Roger MacGregor’s test boat from 2003 and the same boat used as a comparison to the new M in...

Hi, Just some general opinions please from the guys and gals on the forum that know more than me, i might be able to get hold of a 2002 :macx: on a private sale for $14400 Some plus points are its a clean boat, with the usual mac extras (that should really be standard :| ) and a few luxuries as well...

Thanks, i'll take a look at that,
QX

Hi Q1, The M is a marvelous little boat IMHO and i'm a fan of the blue hull (much to pokerricks disgust i'm sure!!) but what i did like with the X was the swing up centreboard for the St lawrence river, and also the $$$ are a factor too and at the moment there are some pretty nice used :macx: out th...

Hi all Macsailors, I've been following the discussion boards for 2-3 months now while i look for that good value 26X :D I got a couple of suspects in my sights already, and they are beautiful boats! If it goes according to plan i'll be able to ramp up momentum to buy from 2nd week of september onwar...
