MAKO 264 Center Console

Continuing in the MAKO tradition, the 264 is designed to run offshore and provide enough room for a couple of anglers to work efficiently. Hatch lifts on the fish box lids are very helpful and the two live wells are standard. Rod holders mounted on the sides of the console are aluminum, not plastic, and the T top is built to accommodate long rods. Our test boat was powered by the new Mercury 4 cylinder 200 horse power Verado. The 4 cylinder is smaller and lighter than other 200s, but there is no lack of power. The boat performed very well and is a great package with the Verados. The forward seats are insulated coolers and the flush cockpit sole runs all the way forward between the seats. This feature provides a safe, deep bow area for those handling dock lines, the anchor or a hot fish from the bow.
