You could spend 3 minutes explaining your idea and it would to me be more informative than canned music. love the boat btw...all weekend on 20 bucks..love it
Found a 1971 SouthCoast 22 sitting in a side yard off the Monocacy river in MD several years ago and could not leave her to rot. called the owner about two weeks after seeing her to be told he finally got the energy to drag the flat tired trailer up to the wheelhouses by the main road to be scavenged and eventually towed away. When I found her she was completely intact save for sails. This year after several on and off again years of repair, she will see the water again for the first time in over thirty years. The Chesapeak bay will be her home.
Aquarius 21 is very stable with centerboard up and no mast. Only problem is with board up in high wind and no way on they will slide across the water. Need to let the center board down until under way then pick it up.
Even at 22' of boat my mast is too tall for a lot of smaller bridges and while I can step mine, it's really tough to do on the water so when I'm just putting around or fishing, I leave it at home. I do have a mini mast for my antenna with a running light that's just about 4' and bolts right to my mast base which is handy.@@shanelassiterislandcastawa2374
I recently bought a 23ft catalina sail boat that im gonna do a major over haul on. the catalina doesnt have a dedicated bathroom so ill be making one and raising the ceiling roughly a foot higher and frog nosing the front of her and adding a small wheel house with a small inboard diesel motor once it's all complete ill be heading to international waters on the flemish cap for a trip
I wonder....just because sailboats are designed to sail and often times are more stable when keeled over faster too.... This is like the guy that took the truck body and put it backwards on the frame and drove it around. Like if it's for kicks and gigs sure. But creagslist has some pretty cheap motor boats just a thought
i´m about to do the same thing to my 22 ft. sailboat.. she have been run aground the last time she was in the water, 2-3 years ago, and had suffered some damage to her hull, and her keel and mast are removed so i god some fiberglass work to do first. Playing with the thought of putting a waterjet in. but year i would like to know stable yours are.
I've always wanted a boat to camp out in overnight. My Macgregor 26 allows me to do that but I have no desire to sail. Any time I take it out, I just motor. I got the boat and trailer from a friend at a great price. I can't afford to buy a trawler or cabin cruiser, but I want to be on the water. I live in Michigan where you can only use a boat during summer months. I'm not interested in speed. The 9.9hp Mercury uses very little fuel. The boat has water ballast and a pull up keel. I see no reason to be concerned about it being stable, I only go out in the calmest weather on Lake Erie or the Detroit River. These are some of the reasons why I want to remove the mast and just motor. I'm storing the sails, mast, etc., in the event I want to eventually sell it as a sailboat. Just my thoughts.

I have a southcoast 22!! Love it 2:36
How stable is the sailboat now that it does not have the keel? did you reinforced the mount for the motor?

Very cool, great effort 👍
BLASPHEMY!!! Sailing is pure communing with nature.

I like having a cabin to spend the night in on the boat, the main reason I bought my sailboat, it was cheap.
i´m about to do the same thing to my 22 ft. sailboat..

@@user-nv3sh5jh3p sorry but had wayyy too manny projekts, so havent had the time :-(
Great effort though my McGregor 25 is similar but still a sailboat. I won't give up sailing. And wind is free.
new 25 powrr sail biat 70 hp new 28 115 powr sail biats planinng sail boats
So it’s as sailboat without the mast? Got it. I don’t understand why though.

Do you not get a lot of wind out there or something?
Can you explain what you did ?
Carpe diem.
how come you put such a small motor on it?
Exactly what I thought....I’m looking to put a 50 hp onto a 20ft yacht, but haven’t seen anyone else do it. Wonder why?
@@richardlove4287 m23 magregar sailboats come with 50 hp outboard
It is a displacement hull, and as such can only move about 9 mph.
@@antfarmmining7824 semi planning hull. i love the idea, but in reality it does not do either role particularly well.
@@antfarmmining7824 newer magregars are meant to plane.. Older ones, not. Mine did fine with 10hp.
No explanation useless
