The older Mako's were built strong. I had a 94. Everything overbuilt, very beefy construction, no cut corners......

That said, boat builders used a lot of wood back then, same for Mako, and after 15- 30 years those boats can also require new fuel tanks, and re built sections.

The old Mako 25' CC from the late 70's to early 90's was a real good rough water rig.
I actually rented one and can tell you - 3' - 5' waves no problem, throttle up and go right through.

Anyway, the hull truth's an ok web site. This site, WellcraftV20.com is just a really thoughtful group of guys, so it's really a great site.
