THE 360 DEGREE FISHING

MACHINE

Classic Mako Advertising

“MAKO…You’ll find them where the Fish are.”

“No one punishes, abuses, or uses a boat

more than a fisherman.”

‘it better perform, because it usually only

gets one chance…”

“…that’s why more fishermen buy MAKOs than any other boat of it’s type built today.”

“The FISHFINDER”

“She’s dry and extremely soft riding”

“Her stability is beyond belief due to her deep vee hull and wide 8 foot beam.”

“Construction is of hand laminated fiberglass, trimmed in natural teak.”

“Take you out where the Big Ones Roam”

“Her High-Impact, Hand Laminated fiberglass hull will get

you there Fast and Dry”

“The Mako 22 is a lot of boat”

“And when you’ve got one on you’ll appreciate her center

console design.”

“Discover the pure fisherman/utility line of fine fiberglass boats”

1973

“In the world of sportfishing. One name stands above all others. The reason is quality. The name is Mako.”

What Mako Owners Say about Mako…

“Had a 1995 262 that was a tank. That boat took a bunch of punishment and just shook it off.” …Saltydog235

“My neighbor has an older mid 80's vintage 254 that he regularly fishes the NJ canyons with. An 85 miles run offshore in an open 25 foot boat requires a good solid boat. He has had some trips where he was shipping green water over the bow, but he was never concerned about the boat holding up. It is built like a tank. “
