Macgregor 26 fuel economy. MacGregor 26 with its poor sail performance lack of proper ballast or top heavy power performance is only good for gentle days on a pond. Outboard at half-throttle fuel consumption is about 14 mpg. 1631 Placentia Ave Costa Mesa California 92627 USA.

I have a 60Hp Evinrude E-Tec. This is the Macgregor 26m. The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by its waterline length and displacement.

Excellent fuel economy and compact size but expensive and not especially lightweight. A gate valve is used to fill the ballast water a process that takes about four minutes. Instead of chugging with the diesel at 4 knots the MacGregor 26 speeds along at 22 mph.

The best economy I have gotten with my X and its 1997 50 hp Merc carbureted 2 stoke and 4 blade 125 x 8 prop is about 25 gal per hour at idle speed of 1k rpm or 40 mph with a full ballast tank standing rigging including furler and cover many modifications head 12 gal waste tank 18 gallons water etc. With exceptional fuel economy. Were not sure where the Yamaha owner above found space in the well for his 6-gallon tank as a number of others said there was no designated place for it.

These engines are available from the MacGregor factory and we offer them on a special order basis. At 26 feet it is simple to rig and sail and just as easy to transport. Visit Website Map Directions.
