I am a guide andI fish Mako's. Let me tell you they are incredibly well built and ride great. THey will beat the socks off a trophy and the Whalers and Grady are way, way overpriced. I fished the bay boat for teh last two year and had the 18 ft model out 10 miles with sailfish in it with out a single problem and the 22 ft version i had went out to 25 miles any times. I know you wont be dissapointed in anything on the boat. I have had both boats out in 6 ft waves and they handled it flawlessly although it not fun to fish in 6 footers anyway. Over 250 days a year spent in these boats and I havent had a minutes trouble out of them at all. If you wanted a offshore boat i have the 212 for sale soon. Turst me you ont be dissapointed. They hang with and beat the gradys whalers and parkers as far as prformance goes. if you have any questions email me at [email protected] and if you want to ride in one i can work it out to get you a ride in my boat.
