[Rhodes22-list] Mac 26x or 26M vs. Rhodes 22

[jhn ldrs]

Hello,
   
  I am interested in buying a trailer-able sailboat to sail mostly around the great lakes, but would like to do offshore one of these days i.e sail to around Newfoundland or Caribbean.
   
  I am strongly considering a used mac 26x(used) was told was more sea friendly then the new 26M but I like the 26M. Then spoke to someone who hated the the macs and recommended the Odin 820. now i am really confused. In my confusion as also started looking at Morris Yachts.
   
  The following is what I am looking for:
   
  1. Boat built to last, ie. solid fibreglass on the hull, low maintenance
  2. Self bailing
  3. Positive floatation
  4. Roomy - livable for extended period
  5. trailer-able
  6. roomy and can walk around the deck
  7. would like to sail on the ocean
  8. light and fast up and down find
  9. Can be launched and retrieved  from ramp
  10. Can be beached like the Mac
   
  Can you provide me more info to help make an informed decision.
