![]() IMO 50hp though max rated is underpowered a lot better with 60 or 75 but transom needs to be strengthened. |
![]() It seems all of them with 50hp plus seems to crack at the hull. |
![]() Could you back that up with proof/facts, Fiz? I think a sweeping statement of that nature could be seen as being a bit over the top & unfair. |

This hull has plan approval to MSA NZ standards as well as US Coastguard and CE certification. The fact the internal voids are filled with foam as standard ensures no modifications are required for the boat to go into survey, and a number of these versatile craft are in regular commercial use around the country and overseas. They are also popular as tenders for larger vessels.
Overall, the Mac 420 is a great little boat, and should be a serious contender for anyone looking for something in the four- to five-metre range — a spacious, stable and maintenance-free craft. Mac Boats' tag line is 'Boats for Life' and this is no idle claim.
Even the Aussies like them

Should have a brace from trailer to motor when transporting imo no matter what vessel,not to rely on hydrolics to hold motor up.
