These are the boats I import used from your country.
Take note of what the white one does at the end....and take my word for it, you need some nuts to see that maneuverer thru, as there is a strong urge to kill the horses.

I have never had one with a motor bigger than a 60hp 4x, and if i lighten then up they go pretty well too.
Got 2 ion the yard at the moment!

Pretty cool... though from the thread title I was expecting a joke ;)
Could you hurry with your next purchase from us, we could use the biz!

I'll bet that maneuver really tightens the old sphincter. :eek::eek::eek:

To be honest, I can't hold one in a tight turn. I have tried a few times, and always chickened out part way thru.

It is an unusual sensation, as the boat is 26' long, and your butt is less than 12" from the rear end, so you have a lot of boat out in front of you, and at 7'10" it does not seem very wide.

You have no wind-screen either, so you have an exaggerated sensation of not only speed, but when the boat leans in to the turn it seems like a really 'big' lean, at very high speed, and seeing the mast leaning over at ?? degrees is un-nerving.

That white boat throwing a high speed U-'y.....that's good!!!

Those macgregors are fascinating vessels, but i would be scared out of my pants at that point.

That was cool. It looked like the boat handled real well in that maneuver.
