Center Console Question ??

[whsalum]

I have been in bass boats for the past 35 years but I am considering a 22 ft center console for my retirement boat. I have found a really clean 2201 Mako. How durable are these boats and what kind of rough water ride can I expect ? Any feed back will be appreciated.

I don't know much about mako's. I mainly bass fish. But 3 years ago I traded up to a Nitro Z9CDC(center dual console) bass boat. It is 21' but with the jack plate it's = to 22'. I'll never go back to a split console. It rides much better and plains out level without hardly any trim adj.
It handles the rough waters very well. It has a 96" beam and seat 4 accross. not that i'll ever have 4 in the boat with me. but there is plenty of room.

Mako is a solid boat.  It's probably a notch under the grady white, but a very good boat.  I have a friend with a 22 foot center console.  He runs twin 120 hp 4-strokes.  He has hydraulic trim tabs and it rides very well in 2-3 seas.  Good boat.
