.........Swing keel, water ballast, and the head by the cabin doorway (like the X)?
I find I like most everything about my Macgregor except that 650 pound keel that I always wonder when it will fall off.
I want water ballast, and the head by the cabin door. Do I need an X to get these features?

You can have a head by the cabin door in any boat - - - just put a coffee can there

You can have a head by the cabin door...put the porta-potty in the cockpit!
If using Rick's coffee can idea, be sure to label one can COFFEE, and the other can NOT COFFEE

Gary,
Along with being extremely helpful, intelligent, and experienced, we tend to also be quite the smartie-britches around here...
From the factory, the only boat with a head by the door is the X - it is the "oddball" design with the head and galley swapped - all the other floorplans are similar to your 25. The D and S boats are nearly the same as yours, the M is also back to that same basic floorplan, with the X being the departure in-between. That said, Sumner did a major mod in removing the head and adding the potty under the bench seat, as he showed above, but it is definitely a mod, not a factory design.

Re: Any Of The older 26 Models Have..........
Gary? Kind?? Unkind? Dude .. your all over the table..what I said has been stated or alluded to , by others as well..
I thought ( from reading your posts) that you made your decision? Your decision was to buy a 26' Power Sailor... The next thing you post , after having said you were going ( made a commitment? $$$ ) to buy an Macgregor X.. is you ended up buying a ski boat (of sorts??) I and others, are just confused??

Thank You. Good to know there are still polite people in the world today. I do like what you have done with your head. I imagine that area also has more "head" room.
