Re: seacraft versus mako
Tommy
Due to previous posts of this nature, I am forced to moderate this thread carefully. In the past severe problems have arised from such questions. If it starts to get out of hand, I will Delete it! May I suggest you ask this question on THT not the Classic SeaCraft or Classic Mako sites

Most fish can't tell the difference.

Re: seacraft versus mako
Tommy,
I agree with Capt. Chuck. I don't think this is the place to debate these hulls because it's a SC site and we're here for a reason. I will, however, tell you from experience that the best boat is the one under you at the moment. They are both terrific boats and you'll be lucky to own either. Like anything else you really love, you should buy the best and most boat for the budget you have. Not all of us can afford to renovate a SC 23 to it's fullest for 30 something But most of us can afford to get a quality hull under us and enjoy life. Best of luck with your search and choice.

Re: seacraft versus mako
Besides the fact today both SeaCraft and Mako are owned by the same parent and they are both made of fiberglass they are very different boats. It is very hard to compare a 23 Mako and a 23 SeaCraft with out more specifics.
Mako made many different 23 foot hulls over the past 35 years ( I do not know the names but the 231 232 23??? and so on), where as SeaCraft only made one, and still only makes one. I do not know if any manufacturers out there that are a derivative of a Mako hull. If you search through this site you will see the SeaCraft Variable dead rise hull is one of the most copied designs afloat including: Sailfish SeaStrike Silverhawk/Topaz Albin 26 Nauset 18 Palm Beach Key Largo Quonset 25 and many others... Mako made tens of thousands of hulls from 15-3O plus feet. SeaCraft just over 5 thousand. supply vs. demand is a great contributor to the higher prices SeaCraft hulls demand. Of that 5000 less than 1/2 were 23's I think discussing quality of the two hulls is a moot point due to the fact they are both pretty darn good. The boats we are restoring, Mako or SeaCraft are sometimes approaching their 30-40th birthday. Structurally both are pretty darn good. Both will have wood and will likely need tending to in areas such as the transoms, and decks, but only the Mako used wood in the majority of their stringers. Giving SeaCraft a slight edge, as the SeaCraft's major stringers are fiberglass boxes. As Otto states the best boat is the one beneath your feet What ever you choose good luck
