My father had both...
Hunter is MUCH better sailboat, but you can't go 30 mph in it. Interiors are tradeoffs in various ways. They both do what they were designed for pretty well. All depends on what you want.

any specific Q's??
You can find me in the directory if you do! I have only had my H26 about 8 mos. but will answer whatever Q's you might have to the best of my ability. Dave

I like my 26
I am pretty happy with my Hunter 26. It has a lot of room & is comfortable down below & sails very good in light air. The jib leaves a bit to be desired, perhaps I need more experience trimming it. The Mac 26x was the other boat I considered and I am curious why you do not like it. If I planned on trailering a lot I probably would choose the Mac, as it is narrower and appears to go on & off the trailer easier. The Hunter 26 is over 8 1/2 feet in the beam & technically is an oversize load, although I have never heard of anyone getting a permit or getting into trouble for not having one. It is a tight squeeze through the toolbooths arough Chicago. I believe the Hunter is a better built boat than the Mac, with generally heavier fiberglass & less unfinished fiberglass in the storage compartments, as is fitting in a more expensive boat. It appears a lot of the interior design of the 26x was borrowed from the Hunter 26. I do not regret choosing the Hunter over the Mac.
