The SEACRAFTS don't have as many rot issues, but they do suffer from the same affliction as the old sterndrive 25 BERTRAMS. The stringers are held in by tabs that over time tend to delaminate and seperate from the hull. There are quite a few SEACRAFTS out there with cracked hulls at the lifting strakes where the stringers broke loose. It isn't a huge problem, but has been an issue. What year MAKO you lookin at MJ? There are quite a few different MAKO deigns out there. One thing I can tell you is the MAKO 251, 254, 201 and a few 231's were used down here by the FISH AND WILDLIFE COMMISION, and they ran them HARD! They held up so well that they extended the service life of them out to 12 years I believe it was. There is still quite a few 201's and 254's in service today down here as well. Although I haven't seen any of the TRACKER built hulls in service down here(does this say anything to you ;)).
