I was always told that it should drip about once per second. That's how it was for me years ago. That's why you have a bilge pump.

Cracking little boats......there were plans to revive the model, with the new owner of the name, with a Jaguar 215, which I was fortunate enough to try the pre production model.

Greetings from Croatia 🙂🍻👍I like this boat. Can you tell me if it is intended only for rivers or can it be sailed on the sea as well? It seems quite comfortable for a family of four? 🙂

I want one and I’m thankful for your full tour. Well done

Where did you get the lining from?

Had a 2000 model 26x purchased new for nearly 20 years. Couple of comments. When the mast is stowed the spreaders go under the upper deck lifelines. Leaning them on top of the lifelines bends the spreaders and stretches the lifelines as your boat shows. Although must admit the lifelines are so short as to be pretty much useless anyway. Some folks remove the spreaders each time they step the mast but it's not necessary; you can maneuver them under first one side, then the other. There are lots of videos on mast stepping that show you how. The drainage hole in the floor pan by the ladder is a factory provision. I added two more in the corners so it would drain when the boat is heeled. You were fortunate to find one in pretty much factory condition. Most of these are heavily modified. Mine certainly was.

I Love it. Best regards from lisbon. I will try to do it the same in my Macgregor

What car is it that was able to pull this boat with the trailer?

This has to be one of the best, most detailed interior tours of one of these boats that I’ve seen. Great job.

Your mast light is very wrong it a spot but not a mast .. Great work

Hi, what paint are you using?

Hi can I ask where you got the white rub rail from please.jay

I'm considering buying a Macgregor 26X and your tour was so detailed & informative, it answered a lot of questions for me, so thank you very much, it "is" appreciated.

What kind of paint do i use thanks

Never realised that the light screw needed 2 complete different tools and as for the bolts in the roof could have been trimmed down and as I live on the exact same model the bolts showing like that will do your head in

How much dose something like this cost

I got a new one in 2002 with a 50 hp Yamaha. Sold it a year later. Worst sailboat I've ever owned! Great for boat camping but thats all.

The old ford watermota sea wolf, my parents had one in a 70s waterland 700 cruiser. Long time since I have seen one.

I owned a M 26X for several years and absolutely loved it. The best boat I’ve ever owned. A couple of mods that I really liked were installing a composting toilet (no smell and easy to dump and set up and a water bladder under the V berth with on demand electric pump for galley and head sinks. A creature comfort mod consisting of integrated Bimini, dodger and cockpit enclosure. I loved the layout down below and made many overnight coastal cruises. Unfortunately I’m now 80 years old with health problems that ended my sailings but I wish for you many wonderful days and nights on your boat.

Would lining the inside with a carpet type covering make it warmer and act as sound deadening ?

How much Is it it is my dream t get a boat

well done

looks great

great video ive subbed

It's great to see a classic grp boat being restored. It looks like it's going to make a really nice boat when you have finished. Thanks for the videos.

Looks great. I know it's a pain but they look so much better being done correctly

I used to fit those same window seals to bus windows and i even fitted my old car window back in the early 90s. I was taught to always fit the rubber to the window first and then fit a peace of washing clothes line down one side and half way along the top and with the other end of the rope do the exact same on the other side of the window so that the two parts of the rope meet up in the middle at the top. Get someone to fit the window in at the bottom and then push down gently on the Glass and also press the front of window keeping a bit of pressure on it. Then from the inside start pulling the tail end of the rope at the bottom corner and the rubber will fold out over the fiberglass. Keep pulling on the rope up and around the corner. Do the same with the other side and your window should be done in around 10 or 15 minutes. I hope this helps. Oh and no fairy liquid or other lubes were used.

remove the silencer NOW, its not a fully sealed silencer and exhaust gasses will leak inside.

Excellent video. In the process of buying basically this exact boat (viewing in a few days) and am pleased to say I like everything about it. The one I'm getting has all the extra storage mods you mentioned people do, and larger bench tops with a fold down tap. I'll definitely be replacing the glorified bucket with a proper marine toilet.

Would love one of these , but wonder how she handles on river Nene. I would have ours on Gt Ouse, but not sure if its stable at low speeds. we had a motor boat in 2012, that wallowed due to really being a sea going boat. Not so keen on sailing, but more gentle cruising, while on rivers, but also will sail on Broadfs too.

What is the top speed of the outboard with wide-open throttle?

Hi can you tell me how much rubber seal you had to get for all the windows please

Great video! Thanks

Looks like a long shaft when you need a short shaft

can you drill through the solar panels or does it have to be through the silver part only? ive found the bigger system i need but the lines are thin not like yours with the thick joints or can you think of a glue i can use to glue them to the bracket you have used as i have bought two of them. hope you can help

👍

Where did you order the upvc panels from. Thanks

The Dewalt battery jet wash has some good reviews.

what solar pannel did you buy and will it charge two 12v leasure batteries want to add two to mine now but cant find the one you have or where you got it from! cheers

Ok, so realy what kind of paint are you using. You make it look so easy that it look like you are not using any kind of 2 component paint. So would you please be so kind to tell us what paint you are using?

How many years will the paint last?

Nice video… appreciate the walk through

no keel boat is it safe to sail?

no more mac videos?

wow! i wasnt expectin it to be so good! im getting one !

I think of all the boats we have owned, the Birchwood 22 will always be the one that has the most memories!

This was most excellent thanks for sharing

Hi Fin, what paint did you use in this video? I am thinking of painting my Shetland 535 boat but I do not want to buy just any paint and have to redo it all.
