Yeah, that is Phin. I've never ridden a mako but I would have to agree it wouldn't be my first pick to restore in that size range.

I knew the old Mako rode good just did not know they were fuel pigs. If I ever go to a 25' boat, it will be a center console and I will build it for tournaments and it will have twins. I really liked the SeaCraft that was posted on here. I am building my V for tournaments hence the bracket, transom door, and the big fishboxes I want to build.

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.
