I know people that love the Mako's, I personally don't care for them, once you get one big enough to go offshore, they take big power to push it, the smaller ones are decent inshore boats, their compartment drain system can be a nightmare to repair.
Aqua sports were pretty cool back in their earlier years, I don't like any of them with the high deck(area above the rub rail), they have a history of poor construction in the later years. I recently looked at a 22 with the low deck, its a great looking boat, long and narrow, looks kinda like a panga
Shamrocks are a nitch boat, takes the right person to have one, they are not for every one. That being said, I think they look pretty cool, with a diesel it would be a cool boat to own. The gas inboards drink an obscene amount of fuel. Can't do much in shallow water with them, and regardless of power, they aren't going anywhere fast.
Privateers are comercial boats, very simular to Parkers and C Hawks, Parkers are a bit nicer. Most of them usually have very little dead rise at the stern, makes them ride a bit rough. They are built like a tank. Not many of them around as they are a small manufacture, only have one dealer.
