The job took 40 hours. “Once we got the tank out of the boat, we realized the existing hull was a better hull than any new hull its size on the market,” says Spalt. That’s when they decided to keep the Mako and “do a complete facelift, from stem to stern.” [links]
Spalt will spend the summer testing Cape Cod waters with his restored Mako.
The 4-stroke setup, which includes electronic throttle and shift and power-assist steering, consumes much less fuel than the twin 2-strokes, says Spalt. more
Though the weight of the 4-stroke wasn’t a problem, its placement farther aft, due to the bracket, was a concern. “Because of the cantilever effect, I thought that it would float much lower in the water,” says Gallagher. “But to my surprise, because of the positive buoyancy of the bracket, the boat ended up floating about an inch higher.” The aluminum bracket is hollow, which helps provide buoyancy, he notes. here
The 1989 Mako hull was in good condition, so it was a good candidate for a refit, but the 2-stroke outboards had to go. “The 2-strokes were probably not maintained well by the previous owner,” says Spalt, who bought the boat in 1999. “They never really ran right, and then when ethanol was introduced into the gasoline, we started to have real problems. With the 4-stroke it’s more of a turnkey situation. I can go down to the boat with my family and not worry about it starting and notr unning right.” more
