The Mako 184cc is a small fishing boat that is big-water capable and offers huge potential.
This compact boat is built tough for fishing and fun, whether you’re chasing game fish or just cruising the Broadwater and Moreton Bay islands with the family.
This versatile boat is a proven dry-riding hull that is a comfortable craft perfectly suited for general inshore, nearshore, and offshore use. It can be easily handled in strong breeze and the knock-about chop out at sea present little challenge to this seaworthy vessel. The family will love the new folding, removable aft jump seats, and swim platform with stainless-steel boarding ladder.
HULL DESIGN
The chop-taming, aggressive deep-V hull allows it to brave rougher conditions with confidence. The wide beam contributes to safety and stability at rest. The overall length of the hull is 5.58 metres, with a 2.49 metre beam and a deadrise of 18 degrees. You can go places as the boat is of reasonable weight for its size, and has a 200-litre fuel tank under the floor, and a draft of just 30cm.
The hull-to-deck joint is chemically sealed and bonded 360°, plus it is mechanically fastened every 15cm with stainless steel fasteners. The boat is built of a foam-injected hull with one-piece fibreglass stringer grid, a self-bailing cockpit with non-skid deck surface, and there are under-gunnel port and starboard rod racks.
The bow is fitted with a sleek low-profile grab-rail. Anglers will appreciate the under-gunwale rod storage and the 80-litre baitwell. The boat is licensed to carry 5 persons. And like every one of the Mako boats, it is backed by MAKO® Assurance 5+Life — the best factory warranty in saltwater boats.
