The Boat

The 1973 22' Classic Mako Center Console is widely regarded as an excellent fishing boat due to its combination of durability, versatility, and seaworthiness. It remains a popular choice among fishermen, especially for those seeking a reliable vessel for both offshore and inshore fishing. Its rugged construction also contributes to its ability to withstand the challenges of open-water fishing.

The 22' Mako has a relatively shallow draft for its size, making it a versatile option for inshore fishing as well. This shallow draft allows it to navigate through shallow water and reach fishing spots that deeper-hulled boats might not be able to access. Whether you're targeting fish in back bays, flats, or other shallow areas, this boat is capable of getting you there, all while maintaining the stability and comfort needed for successful fishing.

This boat offers a great balance of offshore capability and inshore accessibility, making it an excellent choice for a variety of fishing conditions, from rough seas to shallow waters. Its tough construction, shallow draft, and seaworthiness have earned it a strong reputation among fishermen over the years.
