thanks i actually glued a long rubber mat to sidewall to keep boom from damaging it. now im on cushions where the velcro just doesnt hold them in rough seas, any alternative solutions? like stronger attachment to vertical seats

Most work done, trying to figure out how to hang boom on left side in the highest open space aft, drywall anchors through ceiling? Feels thin there. im thinking 3 adjustable straps on screws with some padding on aide so doesnt crack wall in rough seas when not sailing

yeah i have tow service i just like redundancy when engine fails close to breakers. i still get rain on front floor after storm and im not sure its windows i caulked them. have 1 inch in bilge right now lol. is it better to store sails in sealed plastic container or more breathable?

OverEasy, i have 3 bilge pumps all over the place fir redundancy but they dont get every mm of water everywhere which when tilting adds up to a lot more and splashes around, i also think the bilge is very moist from just a little water

Did anyone happen to use a boat diagram like the one on sailboatdata.com and overlay dimensions on it for cabin spaces?

Printing all this out and heading to home deoot right now. For areas in bilge where boxes wont fit, can anything go in sealed thick trash bags in a saltwater/freashwater boat or bad idea? i assume better than brrathable bags but good for anything? or vacuum sealed bags in bilge? seems like there are...

Kelvin and everyone thank you, i disnt know there was a storage section on this site, i went to bwyachts and there was nothing for sale, was hoping for things like a drop in hanging container for the front seat like there is for the back seat but found nothing. Will study all your responses now...

Guys, i have a week to get boat ready for marina and need to get the mess thats all over the cabin (boat supplies, tools, fishing gear, vests, ropes, parts etc) tucked away somewhere on my Mac 26. I dont know how you keep your boats so nice and empty. A spare motor takes up front seat (have a flipdo...

Thank you, that post should be a sticky

Everyone thanks for the info! My boat is still about 6" forward on trailer of the location you have in photo, but i dont know how i feel about all that boat overhanging trailer freely in rear especially since i have a large 500lb outboard. Tongue weight went down to 340lbs when i moved boat bac...

Gotcha. I followed thw rule used by many that trailer should be 12 inches from transom or less but that puts middle of my trailer wheels way behind the end of boat window (like a foot). I see that most ppl line up wheel or center of tandem wheels with end of this window. Tongue weight is 350. If i m...

Its over the trailer now on blocks, im trying to find axle reference point from old trailer to a spot on boat. My main issue is how wide the long bunks should be spaced apart if anyone has those dimensions. I will be checking tongue weight as i go along. I never tied down stern on original trailer b...

I had to buy asap an all aluminum tandem trailer due to the black one falling apart for my 26x but the setup is completely different, it looks similar to the aftermarket macregor ones here: https://supersail.com/macgregor-replacement-trailer-26-classic/ But its not, its a Continental for a 25ft boat...

Thanks Rich juat saw your reply

I unlocked the image link. Pretty sure its a bleeder for surge brake just didnt realize the surge brake was such a complex system but i guess a brake is a brake. Anyone know the weight at which surge brakes are required?
