Makau 23'
 

I spend my fair share of time looking at boats. How did I miss this one? A little departure from the ordinary and I want one. V-20 Cuddy on steroids.:beer: Dreaming.

Thats a nice boat, but I don't think it has a large enough tank to get it back home.

and it only has an IKI MA capacity of 25 gallons. somehow that seems small.

I just spent 15 mins on google trying to figure out what the hell Iki Ma is.....My guess would be fresh water in hawaiian but it doesnt come up as that.....who knows.

Live Bait Well -- Iki Ma

Huge friggin fish storage and I like the looks of the twin Etec 115's on a bracket. She is big at 9' wide and 23' 10" long without counting the bracket or the anchor roller. Little place to sit on the cuddy and it is entirely composite.. Looks like serious $$$

Spotted this beauty on the cover of this months West Marine sales circular then Googled the name..

Pocket drive option v-drive or jack shaft, twin I/O, single or twin OB, diesel oprtions, sounds like they will build whatever you want..
1400 lb fishbox option? Looks clean like a Parker.

Thats a FINE rig...

The fuel capacity would be fine for anything I would use it for but IMO its not enough for that boats' potential.

Fuel capacity (standard; approximate; see tank options) 120 gal (850 lbs)

Don't need much fuel in Hawaii. You never get out of sight of land to catch anything you want. The round trip to the several FAD off shore was less than 12 miles.

Video of how it is made and a few running shots.

Correction, they still use some wood in the boat..
