Clean & Reasonably priced & superiorly powered with a 50hp oil injected Nissan this MacGreagor 26 'X' can be seen at our yard in Memphis on the northeast corner of US 78 and I-240 just minutes from the Memphis Airport.
Rollerfurling, Wheel, Bimini, Chartplotter equipped and including still serviceable bottom paint , uniquely this lightly used MacGregor 26X will make a fine addition to your family.
Your wife will enjoy the headroom, enclosed head compartment with a fairly new porta-potty, fabric cushions on the interior and the cockpit cushions for the cockpit. And for certain the entire family will enjoy making memories together creating a life time of experiences.
Fair to say that this "FRESH WATER" MacGregor 26X is ready to sail. She includes Main, Jib (on a CDI Rollerfurler complete with UV on the edges), mainsail cover and Bimini. She even has a mast raising system.
Every thing is in serviceable condition and ready to get you on the water - - you'll find her a great value. Make a reasonable offer and you will be sailing ! ! The price shown does include a trailer as the owner bought the boat without the trailer as trailering was of no interest but found out that his plans of coastal cruising would demand a trailer to get her there. Otherwise the boat has been in the water in a slip in North Mississippi for a lot of it's life. And cosmetically she is attractive with the exception of some thin gelcote around the topsides just showing the dark structure below a bit. But for 10,900.00 (or close) you'll, again, find her a great value and ready to sail right now.
If you just need the boat relocated and set up, Rooke Sails can be of help.
Qualifying as a 2nd home for a tax deductible Low payment loan, let the government assist in your purchase. Somewhere around 125.00 to 150.00 per month will buy this power yacht. Lot's cheaper than Golf ! !
The MacGregor 26X is a great way to introduce yourself to sailing with your family and Rooke Sails is in a position to take this boat in trade in 2 months or 2 plus years later if you decide to purchase a larger new or used yacht that we can supply.
The 50 hp Nissan also will give you confidence in easing into sailing and obviously adds excitement to your kids for towing them on a tube behind the boat. Great parameters for many a family's recreation.
Take a look at the photos and you'll see a VERY nice, pretty interior that will bring a smile to your first mate and the good stability that this M26X offers. Please contact us for 'how to proceed from here'. We will be happy to help you in any way we can. If sailing is your future, IT'S time to make YOUR MOVE ! !
