Not sure if mine is the one in your photo.
Looks more like the BWY one.. will measure / photo it.. when the boat is unwrapped.


Thanks

Pegasus is quite possibly the shiniest and most beautiful blue Mac M. What a great boat you have bought.

LOL.. she is white...
But yes... lots at the club were impressed..
I buffed her out below the rub rail..and used a very light cut 3M wax.. then a straight marine wax.. looking good.
Modified battery placement, glassed in shelves and installed battery boxes Port/Starb sides .. installed a proper seacock for the motor well drain, plumbed the sink into a shower sump../ then out the back of the boat..

lots of little things. Replaced the rivets in the mast ... stuff like that .. anything lose was tightened/replaced..etc.etc. Going over the motor now.. replacing fuel lines/ maybe the pump.. checking the charging system in the motor (maybe needs a volt rect.).. little stuff.
Having fun with all the small projects.
Added LED lighting, and strip lighting ..
etc.etc..

Funny thing,.. the guy in the slip next to me used to own a 2008 Mac 26M (his was blue) and he has tons of info for my "Where does this go" questions..
