I don't think people saying what they have to say about a certain boat makes them elitists. People on here critisize far larger and ten times more expenses boats as well so it has nothing to do with stature. I personally do not like the Mac26x both for it's looks, and what it aims to be a power boat and sailboat combination designed for inland use. However if that is what someone is looking for and enjoys using, than that is great and I would never bash them for that as I have no business doing so. It is when these people such as in this website : Cruising Log of the Murrelet, act as if these boats are specifically designed as world class cruisers and recommends them to people looking for long term cruising and acts as if they are the greatest thing since sliced bread.

When the manufacturer says the boat was designed for typical small boat use including inland waters and limited coast cruising...and then you have this wack job who makes this website and tries to convince everyone it is the ultimate blue water boat....I think that is what pisses people off.
