We bought our in April 1996 and still love it. Also joined the MacGregor Yacht Club of B.C. in June of ‘96 and still a member in fair standing .

Where in Vancouver are you

The original battery from factory is under the starboard seat. We’ve moved our battery under the V berth, had to extend the battery cables, but did not leave old connecters there, as it sounds like the PO did.

Purchased our Mac 19 in April 1996 and still love it today. 27 years, thought we would up grade to an X but the 19 was too good for what we do.
Doug

Yes, I have a 6hp as a kicker for fishing and it will go 5-6 mph wide open, pretty loud though.
Doug

The first year the 19 was made 1992 it did not have spreaders, backstay and had a fractional rig. FYI the first 10 models were red!

There are several Mac owners on the island. Post in www.mycbc.ca for more info.

I opened up those plates a couple of times on Dee Seas and replaced the rubber washers. Mark the plate to the floor as the screw holes were randomly drill at the factory! I resealed with 4200 no leaks

Asked my Admiral she wanted swivel cup holders. She hates spilling when reeling in a fish. Dam fish!!
Doug

We've had our for 26 years, I've removed the plates twice, no problems with leaks and no problems removing and cleaning.

Reapply with 4200 or similar it's more of a chaulking, 5200 is like a glue. Way easier to remove ports and clean.

Anyone know the PHRF for a ?

If us 19 owners bend over that far to show 10 toes 9 fingers ( less one thumb would be easier ) we or I would fall over
Doug

We tow ours with a Ford F250 with a 8'9" camper on top, no problems. Also love when washing and/or waxing only 19 ft that extra 7 feet you guys can have it. LOL

Under power at speed water is forced up the rudder posts, those holes allow that water to drain.
