What Mako Owners Say about Mako

Had a 1995 262 that was a tank. That boat took a bunch of punishment and just shook it off. Saltydog235 My neighbor has an older mid 80's vintage 254 that he regularly fishes the NJ canyons with. An 85 miles run offshore in an open 25 foot boat requires a good solid boat. He has had some trips where he was shipping green water over the bow, but he was never concerned about the boat holding up. It is built like a tank.
