and take the bad all in stride.

I bought a 2002 Mako 192 a few years ago as my first boat. Loved it as it was a big 19 feet (i.e., 8.6 beam). However, the aft does flex, hair line cracks starting to show, and it struggles to get on plane with a full tank (80 gal) 130 4-stroke. But all in all I'm happy with her.

Is she going to match a Regulator or a Contender, no. But last time I check, nothing is built the way is "used to be".
