MacGregor 26M with new 2019 Yamaha 70 hp Four-stroke Outboard Motor

We finally got our new outboard motor installed and we launched the boat today. It works really well. In this video, Ella and Amelia help me to demonstrate the new motor at high power. The boat was fully laden with the ballast tank full (1100 pounds), mast and jib mounted, and all the various crap we keep in her during the season. I might do a speed trial at the end of the season with the mast down and the ballast tank empty to see how fast it will go. I&guessing she&top 30 km/h easily. 2007 MacGregor 26M 2019 Yamaha F70 four-stroke 70 hp w/ 14x11 prop
