As you know I wrote you a PM when I found out about your stroke. I am very sorry to hear you have decided to sell the boat because mine was instrumental in shaping my successful physical therapy. Good Luck whatever you do.

thanks for all the kind comments and advice.. Thursday I sold my 2000 :macx: ,tODAY THEnEW OWNER TOWED IT AWAY. I IsOLD THIS boat to the same gentleman/sailor who bought my 1996 motorless :macx: so tht I couldbuy the new & improved 2000 upgraded model. (i SOLD MY mAC for only $7,500.00. Great Deal.FOR A 2000 :macx:

When I sold Bud my first 1996 :macx: he used it in Lake ERie, the 2nd year he INSTALLED A 70 HP sUSUKI, towed it to the Floria Keys From pennsylvania. when he ararived at athe keys he found that the Mac traler had failed.
The Axel somehow was moving side to side and the tire cut a hole through the hulll. He repaired the hole and actaually sailed it around the keys for a few weeks. He eventually sold it cheap too so now I feel like I make it right with him. I hope he enjoys it, If I feel better i may even get to Sailing with him in the near future.

EVEn though I aM UNOFFICALLY Anon- mAC OWNER, i WOULD LOVE TO THANK tHIS weBSITE AND ALL IT MEMBERS WHO HAVE HELPED MAKE MY maC EXPERIENCEa great expeience. I feel llike I made some great friendsh here and in the Back room Too. I have recruited a few member here who I took for a ride on my :macx: and they became new ownera and members. MY best experience is when Albion from OHIO asked for help to Sail his new :macm: I spent a few days teaching him the ropes.and met Ohio Islands MAC owners Allbion also sold his :macm: last year itoo. raetired and no sucker like me to climb out to the bow and hook on the jib. It wS ALSO A gREAT FEELING WHEN i LOGGED ON HERE TODAY AND REALIZED THAT frANK c FROM cALIFORNIAA AND cHIP hinES ARE BACK, i HAVENT HEARD FROM THEM IN A FEW YEARS. i WILL XHCK IN OCASSSIONALLY JUST FOR FUN.

wHEN i WAS PACKING UP MY STUFFF TO SELL i HAD 2 bINDERS OF STUFFF i HAD COPIED HERE. moDS TIPS AND GENERALAL POSTS. MOST OF TH aRTICLES i HAD WERE FROM
bRUCE wHITMORE. REMEMBER WHEN i FIRST JOINED HERE USING THE NICKNAME AlibBABA. bRUCE WAS THE EXPERT.

tHANKS TO THE gREAT TIMES jOHN mC
