It's my understanding the new 25 is a keelboat, while the 260 and earlier 26 are water ballasted w/swing keel. The 26/260, when used with the poptop option are tolerable for short term time aboard. They draw around 18" with board up, but you will have to raise the rudder as well, which steers much harder the higher up it comes.
If you're looking for an easily trailerable boat, you could do worse.

A lot of the folding sport trimarans are designed to have very shallow drafts—less than 18" and are specifically designed to be beachable—which neither MacGregor is AFAIK. I wouldn't recommend the Corsair 24/28 as their cabin is far too small, but some of the other—more cruising oriented boats, would be excellent choices.
