older makos?
 
Just wondering how the older Makos ride, both the CC and Cuddys. I'm just trying to get some research done for my upcoming purchase. Older I mean like mid 80's.

Is the ride harsh, wet, dry, etc.....

For a biased opinion - check ClassicMako.com. For a great ride in an older boat, check out the Seacrafts ClassicSeacraft.com and the Formula/Thuderbird/Performer hulls :)

it really depends on which model. Just like anything, you can design different boats for different applications.

but overall I think that they ride great and are nice and dry, and well built.

Lots of support over at classicmako.com as JR said.

Theres a sweet 23 Seacraft on the Cape for sale. I saw it on thehulltruth.com

Speaking of older makos, it looks like we have another s-b'er looking to join the ranks. Hey Vectorfisher--- I'd hit buy it now on that sweet deal before someone steals her from you....looks like a great price & a great project.... :drool:

You are almost right, when someone wants to consider a twin powered 25' Mako and wants to save money with a single, and improve ride, resale, quality, and fuel economy, they buy a 23 Seacraft (well, at least an older Seacraft as Mako builds the new ones :yak:)
:wavey: :musc: :faga:
