SeaTrac Suspension?

[Captn C]

I was reading an old issue of Sport Fishing (1997) and found a boat review of the 252 Mako.

It stated, "Mako suspend the deck liner in the hull. The aluminum fuel tank is suspended in a foam filled fiberglass pod under the deck. The deck then fits into the hull with interlocking stringers bonded by adhesive ployurethane foam, providing exellcent stiffness. Mako then injects high-density foam into the remaining space between the hull and deck as well. Finally, a unique internal hull flange increases torsional stiffness to each Mako hull at the deck hull joint. The net result; a virtural one-piece boat."

Does anyone know if they adopted this to the later model SeaCrafts as well?

I have seen the areas below deck of my SeaCraft and I know it's not foam filled, but I wonder if it should have been. If it was then that would explain why there is so many sub-structures broken under the center console.

In the article they went on to state Johnny Morris had brought Mako back to the level of excellence that it enjoyed years ago.......I think they were a little pre-mature in making that statment.

Has any one seen an ad for any "new" SeaCrafts? They are not on their TV shows nor their sales flyiers. I have also noticed they are not in any of the major magazines either.

Any ideas why they are not?
