Buying an '86 Mako CC 224...is it gonna break in half?

This is not a joke-- then launched into a
tale of how both he and his "friend Darryl" had split their respective
Mako's in two by taking them offshore (in this case, the Hudson
Canyon). This kid says all Mako's have a
structural flaw that makes them split right across forward of the
console. Is there any truth to this?

I doubt it. I had a 21 Mako slightly older than yours and had it in
10' + seas on numerous occasions in the Gulf Of Mexico without any
structural problems. Hydraulic trim tabs helped "roll" it over waves
rather than drop it but it still took some pretty healthy pounding
without a problem.
