Buying an '86 Mako CC 224...is it gonna break in half?
This is not a joke-- I could truly use some expert wisdom here. We
put a deposit on a nice '86 Mako with a new Yamaha 225, and stopped at the boat supply store to pick out goodies for it on the way home. When the salesman (OK, he was a kid, but still...) heard us say "Mako", he warned us to stay away from Mako's, 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). My husband and I must have gone fish-belly white at that point; needless to say it put a total DOWNER on our excitement over the new boat (our first CC). This kid says all Mako's have a structural flaw that makes them split right across forward of the console. Aaaakk!! Have we made the total mistake of our lives, or should we not be listening to someone who is actually younger than the boat is?? Is there any truth to this? |
