Macgregor 26M on The Price is Right!

Post by gatorzip02 »

We watch the Price is Right every day at work during lunch. Imagine my surprise today when they got to the Showcase Showdown and the doors open to reveal a brand new Mac. I won't spoil it for you by telling you if she won or not, I'll let you watch for yourself:

Fast forward to 33:30 to see the Mac prize Showcase. Enjoy

Haven't watched the show in years and just happened to have it on in the background while working in my office.
Boy did I get the Showcase price wrong! They must be selling the slower blue hull cheap these days.

The boat is Blue and beautiful, but there's no motor - hence the "low" total showcase value.

Fun to see that. Nice blue fast hull also. Nice and shiny. Would have looked better with mast up, but I guess the studio was too short.

Must have been the price without a motor. Credits at the end show it was from Mike Inmon's dealership. Cool.

I don't live in Australia (wish i did), but live way the way opposite in the US from Mike Inmon (he's in California and I am in Florida). Did my dealing over the phone, made a deal and he shipped me my M free! Never had the pleasure of meeting him nor shake his hand. But after all the fun I have had with my M, I'd buy him his next drink and maybe just maybe a steak :) :)

Maybe someone in Australia might contact 'ol Mike and see if he'd ship a brand new M to Oz for free!

Ya never know :evil:

I just had a chance to check out the video link. That's the second time in 3 weeks they had a 26M in the Showcase.
The first time, the contestant overbid. This time the contestant won one heck of a package!! I wonder how much the
cruise on the yacht costs?
