I have Mec 9000 in 16, 20, 28 and 410. There a great press and I haven't had to many issues with them. The 16 and 20 are both set up for 2 1/2 inch hulls. I have had one occasion to send the 16 back to Mec but it came back just like new. I wish they would make one for me in a 2 1/2 12 but they won't do that any more .

I’ve got a pair of 12’s a 16 a 20 a pair of 28’s and a 410 . All bought used except the 16 . And while they’re not bad as such if a person cut their teeth on PW’s a MEC never will make the grade in comparison . Granted a new PW 800 is now at or over a grand and if I’m not mistaken dealer cost on a 9000 is less then $700 for the manually powered ones . Now I might change my tune on the 9000’s or even a Grabber if they made one in 10 gauge 2 7/8” ! I’ve got Grabbers for the 28 and 410 as well
