Yes. Out the door at $30k plus change. Very basic.

Just be careful with BPS installing addons. My daughter and SIL bought the exact same boat 5 years ago without any electronics or trolling motor. When they went to pick it up, someone had mounted a trolling motor on their boat, wrong one! BPS was going to just remove it and silicon the holes until I went down there. Ended up letting us have the trolling motor at BPS cost. If you're capable, I recommend you do installations yourself. Take your time and use youtube and google. You will do a better job. That Mako is easy to run wires and cables because of the open gunwales and false floor.

Ah yes. I’m not having BPS install the addons. Thanks. Does your daughter still own her Mako?

No, they sold it after a couple of years but it was trouble free during the time they had. They used it mainly to fish freshwater and the bay. They did pull kids behind it on a tube without any issues. I seem to remember it took a while to learn how to trailer as the bow is flat and getting lined up on roller wasn't easy. Towed well, too. We took a trip to SC from FL, and they towed it with their Jeep CJ.

Good for you; I hope that you get many years of good use. I applaud you for ignoring all the naysayers on here who think that everything that costs less than $75,000 is junk.
