"JetPac" Can this be put on a Macgregor 26 somehow v. 150hp
Hi there I don't know enough about Macgregor's for this and it seems the manufacturer doesn't either, do you know if the 150hp version of the JetPac could be put on a Macgregor 26S. Could a Macgregor 26 be modified to have one (In Canada the hp regulations {overpowering} are more lax, and if you get in insured the Coast Guard won't want to get in the middle of it). This isn't a normal outboard, it is lower and more aft, and would only add weight of 500lbs so instead of a 250lbs outboard it's like having two. If the water ballast is always full and the Macgregor is always in the water, could it be ok, even if it means you cannot open full throttle. If it is a bit destabilizing, how could that be changed as needed. how much weight and where, maybe more buoyancy somehow. Also how much can the Macgregor hold in weight on the water safely, and how can that be modified to hold more as well. This JetPac could be converted to run waste vegetable oil, and is very attractive for it. The only other diesels are old Yanmar, and only 35hp, which isn't made anymore. I'm considering buying a Macgregor 26S 1994 version very soon, and I hope somebody can please help me with this, thank you,
regards Ry
