linesider 159 Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 My guess is 26hps bottom with an open layout cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whichwaysup Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Would be a bummer to lose the original MAs sharp entry and great ride. Not sure how the HPS compares, but the MA hull is what makes it famous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and I would think they went with less of a transom deadrise to get the draft down and probably will be similar to what Egret has done with the 21' Moccasin, which I think is really a great layout. And let the speculations begin...lol. All I know is that at 26' this is going to be a beast of a "Flats/Hybrid" boat that will set a new bar. I see this being the modern day "flatback" west coast style tarpon machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to think if anyone builds anything even close to this ...🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heweymagoos Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Looks like a sweet ride. 26 feet is a hell of a big boat. Bet it will be well over 100k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s still little more of a bay boat with the recessed deck. And ugly as sin... I was thinking Young was making one too, but maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being that PF has such a bay boat presence and just came out with the 2500, I can only assume it has to be lower gunnels, less deadrise etc....The 26' size is throwing me off. I could understand coming off the 23' HPS hull, but 26' seems very long to put the MA name on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is obviously a market though, or MBG wouldnt be producing it. I have to admit that the sheerwater pic was pretty attractive. Great layout for kids, low gunnels would make sandbar sessions a ball. And lets be honest, the majority of folks use boats primarily for recrational activities vs. serious hardcore fishing. A 26 might just fit that bill. And I am 100% on board if bringing the name back on a 26 opens the door for a 21 and an 18! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conocean Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Relax Gents.....not many of us are going to cough up the dough for a new 26MA. The mid 20' c/c & bay boat market is booming. No doubt that's where a lot of money is being made by several manufacturers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason p Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Would have been waaaaaay cheaper to let me take over the reigns of the MBC from Mr Deal as discussed earlier and bring back the tiller Micro and beef up the transom of the 21 MA to accept a Vrod 400R. .... and we would have won the skiff challenge with Shane and I piloting the HPXV 17.
