    The Boat I am looking for.....

    ...is a Mako! I think it is a 19 or 20 footer. It has very low lines, Bay type boat. I saw one once, but that was it. This boat is probably a late 70's or early 80's boat, center console. I have searched, however the internet is not the same as looking at it first hand. I actually drove by the house with the boat for about a year, I was gonna stop, I am married and she has a real problem with all the boats I have ??? Anyway's when I drove by one day the house was for sale and the boat was gone! My family has grown and need a little bigger boat than my 17 MAKO.

    The mako 191 is the plain jane. The 20 is the full dress. The 21 has higher sides and a deeper v...All good... My play boat locked in at the Aquasport 20 osprey model. Draws eight inches, from bone fish to blue water she covers the spread.

    Muddybottom,here's a bigger (same as avatar)picture of my 1973 22'. It fishes pretty skinny water and still is enough of a deep v to work limited offshore stuff. Not very glamorous but strong and dependable. If your in the market for a mako try classicmako.com.

    My boating brother-in-law is a Aquasport kinda of boater. He has a 17 and loves it. I guess what I really want, well what I would like is a 20 thru 24 footer, with a casting deck up front that can go offshore but still float in skinny water. I have looked at the 191 Mako, just too high of a bow for me. The Mako I've seen was just like a 17 but just strecthed, mean looking from the front. However I am open to other GOOD quality boats that fit the bill.

    You guy's are good! That is a nice looking boat, however it is a standard 191, but drop the deck a foot, and there you have it. Being that MAKO was born and bred in Miami, maybe it was a proto-type boat or something?? BUT, I think I just saw one in someones backyard. I have a bad habbit of looking at any boat in anybodys yard. I am gonna stop by and ask about it. I am telling you, the lines are mean, and clean.

    I had a 1969 19' Mako CC.


    You can't be anymore basic. Built like a tank, but VERY low in the water.

    TONIGHT I GOT PERMISSION TO BUY IT IF I FIND IT! I really like the MAKO I am looking for. However if you know of a boat that has good INSORE/SKINNY water qualities, BUT can go off-shore in , AHHHHH 3 footers, I'll look at it. I like having a trollingmotor up front. I have looked at new boats, just a little too rich for my blood.

    I think you want something better condition than mine. Its dusty, needs some caulk and larger screws in some places, etc. A good one with good power not too old couls be had around 10 k.
