I'm with you on this. I like my 2006 Mako 192 w/ 4 stroke Suzuki and T-top just fine. I like that it is new, dry, and reliable. Very stable and wide boat, build quality is pretty darn good, especially to an old boat where screws are backing out, fiberglass is cracked, tank is corroded, wiring is fried.
80 gallon tank gives the boat amazing range, great casting platform, the deck isn't mustard color either. They get a bad wrap, but hardly worse than any other "new" boat out there, short of Regulators, Edgewaters, etc. 230 hours on mine in 3 years and the ONLY issue I've had was a loose screw on the ground bar which was actually installers fault when I first bought the boat. Even that took a year to work free.
