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.

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....  |

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  )
