Macgregor 26D or 26S wanted

Looks like the time for this upgrade is rapidly approaching. I have been in business for myself for the last 5 plus years. I am closing the business, and getting a job. Yep a job. I am going to be one of those working stiff sardine's jammed on the Metro every morning. My reward - a new, but used, boat.

After extensive research, conversations with boat owners and more extensive research, I have decided on a Magregor 26D or 26S. For some reason, I am having a hell of a time finding either of these boats for sale within about 300 miles from DC. So, if you have a boat that you want to sell, please contact me!

I am looking for a boat that is structurally sound with sails and standing rigging in good shape. I will probably replace the running rigging anyway. A little TLC is not a problem, however I would like to avoid needing to make major repairs. Also I would hope that there is some life on the trailer tires, at least enough to pass inspection. No roller furling headsail? No problem! No outboard? No problem! I have a wish list of items that would be nice, but are not neccessary for this transaction to take place:

-Bimini
-Mast raising rig
-Bearing Buddies
-Ida sailor rudder upgrade
-Lines rigged aft

Please don't hesitate to email me if you are even THINKING about selling your 26D or 26S!!!
