Always liked Mako....They were good riding and good boats for divers.

...and the older Makos are solid in construction/ride a with a bit of care and they come up like new and hold the polish.... kinda' surprised they never impacted Whaler's market more with the 17

17 is a Great boat - 23 is awesome

I’ve said this on here before but for some reason I have the mindset that most guys on this forum are in their 30s and 40s.
That isn’t true. Most are 50s and 60s and then there are you seasoned guys that make me realize and hope (at age 58) I still may have another couple decades of boating left in me.

Oh that's just great. Women will still be driving me nuts when I'm 74? Does it ever stop?
