Here are some of the pics for our 26s. In the condition we received it in mostly.
We removed the furler, tidied up the boom/main and stowed all the cushions below
Cleanup Begins.

Again, I got it for 1800...
Servicable Engine (Mariner 5hp)
Really good Main
Spinnaker
Furler
1/2 life bottom
Decent enough cushions
VERY DIRTY...
New Coastal Furling 150% Genoa coming next week.
BWY parts coming next week.
All lines are being washed
I need to find a Mac Sailor on Stockton Lake, Missouri to hold my hand while rigging it.
If I cannot, I am taking it to the Marina for help...next weekend (I hope) Dip its toes in the water, test out the hull and motor. (sail??!)
We will see.

Pretty girl. She is a blast to sail. Get her in the water and see what she needs.

You got an honest to goodness steal! There's a lot of expensive rigging on that boat! How's the inside look?

Heck... My trailer cost TWICE that amount. You could easily say you got the boat for free! Amazing!

Hi All,
The inside is "ok".
When I bought it over fathers day weekend, it was VERY dirty inside. This....after the previous owners step-son said it was cleaned 4 weeks earlier.
ummm WOW.
It was in a slip for 2yrs and in a Barn for 3yrs.
Thank goodness I didn't see it BEFORE they cleaned it up!
Unfortunately my wife did not get any pics of the original condition...but I have some photos being uploaded later on today.
Being from San Diego and an outsider...I have found that SOME people in my new state of Missouri are....'less than truthful' ??
I have bought cars, tractors, horses and such....amazing. Caveat Emptor...right?
I no longer wonder why Missouri is the "Show Me State"

Sumner,
What do you mean by I guess?
I am confused.

You got a heck of a deal, especially considering all of the hardware for the lines leading aft. Hey I was born/raised in Missouri, so you showed me that deals are still out there
.
Where are you going to sail her? I have good friends down in the SW corner and also just over in OK and my folks retired to Branson in the 70's and were there a long time until they passed away. Ruth has never been there. I'd like to take her and the Mac to Table Rock at some point as it is a pretty lake. I hear though that a lot of people like to sail on I think Stockton Lake.
Have fun,
Sum

Lots of good equipment there you normally have to pay extra for. Good job.
You probably don't need much help rigging her. Maybe someone to help hoist the mast if you don't have a gin pole for that, 'tho from the looks of things, you probably will find one in there somewhere.
Just be careful to take it easy the first time. Heel her over to 40 degrees once and your best friend won't want to sail with you anymore. Happy sailin'.
