What do you guys think about the ride in a 83 21 Mako ? I just bought one, and would like some feed back on it

Awesome looking boats



PS. I chopped the cap at the transom on Tuesday, and will be cutting the rest of the engine box out Friday night. I may be able to use part of it as a splash well. Im still attempting to remove the volvo i/o, this things got bolts in the most awkward places. Theres been some previous work done in the back, some of it sloppy. So far the transom wood looks solid, we'll get a better idea after the outdrive gets removed.
Saturday I plan on doing the rough cut to remove the cuddy and begin removing the floor down to the stringers.
My wifes back (she took the my new camera), so Ill post some pics over the wekend

Sooner or later you're going to realize just as I did that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. - Morpheus

If that`s the pic that`s showing, it`s a NICE looking rig. How do these boats compare ride wise ?

I'm sorry to say I've never been in a mako or hy-liner,,,what I watch is when the offshore jigger's go out an come back in later, I take note of their ride's....seacraft//hy-liner//capecodder...around here anyway's....these folk's work every day on their boat's, so they must know what works as to what hull's are best.
