Why move the motor back for better performance ??? just buy a LONGER boat. XXX Look like a Jig Saw Puzzle.

Nice boats and review. How about a comparison review of slightly smaller 19' - river & bay center console soft ride catamaran "Style" boats. Mako has The Pro Skiff 19 claiming a soft ride but how does it compare to true power cats like the Twin Vee 190 and other Cat options. Not sure if Livingston, Carolina Cat ot Tideline are still producing 19 footers.

I would like to say as a European, your stupid over engined boats, shit hulls, poor real seakeeping, are a graphic indicator of your over consumption of the earth's resources. Like your automibiles (and your POUS, Trump the Dump), you are full of shit, use too much oxygen and are leading towards the destruction of all of us all. All you need for a good days fishing is a good hull, crew and a sail and a good motor under 20hp. Get a grip you stupid ba3tard3.

Matt Gledhill - 7 years ago

Basalt Rock, we actually have fish here unlike your over fished waters... talk about destruction!

I live on the sland of Puerto Rico .....What's your opinion on a 2016 sailfish 22cc??

Shawn Weed - 8 years ago

Once again, a great job by Florida Sportsman...the differnt perspectives from the reviewers shows the pros and minuses for each boat...they all have their niche...thanks again

boats of this size have become very refined. I'd love to see a review of a refitted 1980's Aquasport 22.2 Osprey or Mako along side these to compare. I grew up on the Aquasport and it was very capable - less of an offshore boat but we took it 80 miles out into the gulf anyway!

Andrew Reichel - 8 years ago

Ok will which boats do you recommend?

Daniel Lane - 9 years ago

Love the Dusky 227. Can it handle big waves heading 20 miles offshore and 20 miles back?

Truong Nguyen - 6 years ago

Daniel Lane thats an objective question but 227 is reflective of the LOA so its closer to a 20' boat

Mako 234!

I have a 2015 Mako inshore skiff (Pro17) LOVE IT. Inverted V hull is like riding on a cushion of air. Never had a problem with it other than mildew in the front hatch. Offshore boats may not be good, I don't know, I have never fished one but as far as inshore goes, Mako is quality on the water.

That's sweet bro! My grandfather use to build them on bird road back in the early seventies when foam filling boats originally started. That only went on a for a few years though.

RedPeperjack - 9 years ago

@Venomous villain yeah man ive had this one forever. it was my gramps till he passed and then my dads, now its mine but i occasionally take my dad

Carlos Camejo - 9 years ago

I'm looking for an older mako 261 lol, it's a great tough hull. A little bit like the 26 regulator in hull design with some differences topside

RedPeperjack - 9 years ago

@Venomous villain That is true for the most part, i have an oldie 26" and i sea these massive boats ready to fall apart hitting two footers and mine just goes right through em

Carlos Camejo - 9 years ago

Any mako after 1993 has been shit so far...

Michael Maass - 9 years ago

was that a banana on that 3rd boat?

Will Adams - 9 years ago

yall must get some kick backs from those companies atleast I hope that you do because those 3 boats are no where near the best 20-23 center consoles. I could rip every single one of those apart

@Sae Kim Will Adams couldn't guide you to the closest bathroom, Kim. He's just some mouthy little pudknocker with a micro penis and pimples on his back.
