I finally got a chance to do a little work to the boat, still a lot to do, but I made some good progress this past weekend.

I will attach a few new photos











The last one is of my Helper Man, could not have done it would him. LOL

Looks like a fine first mate there Dean.

MAN THOSE OLD MAKO LAST FOREVER, I SOLD ONE THAT I HAD ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO AND THE BOAT AND ENGINE ARE STILL IN GREAT SHAPE. JUST BE SURE TO BACK DOWN IN FRESH WATER EVERY TIME YOU GO IN SALT WATER AND WASH EVERYTHING OFF AND RUN THE ENGINE TO GET ALL THE SALT OUT AND BE SURE TO COVER YOUR TRAILER IN FRESH WATER HIGHER THAN YOU PUT IT IN SALT.
PA THE OLD MAN

Beautiful looking rig. Did you find the canvas "cuddy" locally or was it something especially for a MAKO that you purchased elsewhere?

Nice ride

Thanks for the advice, I will do, but I will probably have to use a hose, not a freshwater ramp close to the place in Carrabelle.

Anyone, ever use that stray on concentrate with a hose, that suppose to neutralize the salt , I saw this in the Cabelas catalog?

It came with the boat, I think it must have been a factory item for mako, because I have seen several Mako's that had one.
