Hi, I'm looking at several boats to replace my 26S. One of the considerations, as I'm up in age, is stepping the mast. I have seen people do it, but I was wondering how long and heavy is it? I know most boats have the mast raising system, but I have found them somewhat troublesome and rickety. And along the same line, has anyone used a vehicle ( truck) to raise the mast or al least stabilize it when raising?
Any other general concerns about the Mac 19? I need a boat that can beach on a shore, any other boats that size out there, maybe the Hunter 23.5? Can you comment.
thanks for any input.
