SeaCraft / Mako
 

I have owned a Classic 1988 Mako 221 and it was the best riding fishing boat that I have ever been on, never got wet even in bad seas. I have been a member here for a few years and I love the look of the Potter Hull, so I wanted to see if there are any people on here who know both boats to see how SeaCraft compares?

Thoughts would be appreciated.

You are joking....? Right....? :rolleyes:
Then again maybe not...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

The square of the hypotenuse = the square of the running surface+ the transom height squared.

Those are my only thoughts.

Why would I be joking, I have never been on a SeaCraft. Thanks for the reply.

You've already been visited by the peanut gallery. Let me translate:

We are the bunch that have already decided on Seacraft. You'll be hard pressed to find an objective opinion here. That being said, there are a lot of Seacrafts in your neck of the woods and I don't think you'll have any trouble finding a member here who's willing to demonstrate the Seacraft ride after you poor yankees peel the shrink wrap off in the springtime. That's going to be the best way to decide. We're confident you'll agree the Seacraft is the better choice. :D

Joe DiMaggio said Mr. Coffee was the best he`s ever tasted. Cough cough. Now Joe,
you were married to Marilyn Monroe.

Brother Paul has had his 221 for 9 years now. I`ve spent time on it, the 21, and the revered 23. I`ll take the Potter every time.

I`ve been wet on a 48 Rybo in the quarter and head blow. On the FB.

Thank you for that, I couldn't imagine that Seacraft wouldn't be awesome.

Does your 221 pound in a 2' -4' head sea ? I had a Mako, and it would.
Can't speak for the SeaCraft, except for what I read here.

No, it really handled well, trim tabs helped.

We call it The Ride. Contrary to all logical thought, put your hand forward, get on top and dust moguls the size of Volkswagens.

I`m on day 2 of the Wayco country ham prep for Crimpas.
