New Mako boats embrace classic 'V' design for reliability, handling

17.05.12

At first carom, the new Mako Pro 16 Skiff looks like … well, it looks just like another center-soothe skiff.

But check it out under the bow and notice the hull design. Looks like a catamaran. Sort of. Then you find out the hull is an inverted V, a concept barely 100 years old that has stood the test of time for reliability and handling.

That’s the idea behind Mako’s new gift in its inshore lineup for 2012, as revealed recently to dealers and the boating media at Big Cedar Shelter on Table Rock Lake near Branson, Mo. The Pro 16 Skiff is part of several new or tweaked boats in the Mako, Sun Tracker and Nitro lines.

“Don’t stereotype it as a saltwater boat because it’s more than that,” said Steve Mason of Tracker Thalassic in describing the Pro 16 and Pro 17 Skiff Tiller, both of which have the inverted-V hull. “It’s not a new concept, but it’s a characterize-new concept for us.

movable jon boat seat?

Apr 10, 2009 by BILLY G | Posted in Boats & Boating

I have a 16ft xtra extensive jon boat with a 15hp tiller control motor,as you know with a tiller handle you have to sit to one side of the boat do they make a seat base that would allow you to mount a seat that could be slid from one side of the boat

I don't understand if one is made that will go from one side to another but there is one made that will slide 15'' from side to side. it anchors securely to the leading edge of the jon boat bench. The companion part then fastens to the bottom of the boat

When boating in Florida, which of the following actions is legal?

Aug 08, 2011 by Leah Krinker | Posted in Words & Wordplay

operating at speeds that are not cautious for the prevailing traffic
operating outside of restricted areas
riding on the bow of a boat where there is a chance of falling overboard
riding on a seat mounted on a raised deck

legitimate = riding on a seat mounted on a raised deck
(I am not 100% sure of this answer. However, the first two are obvious illegal. And the third one ought to be, if it's not already! I see nothing unethical with being on a raised deck sea

About this book
You need land, her father had said. That way you're working for yourself. You get up in the morning and you're getting up for you, and when you go home at night and lay yourself down, you're tired from working for yourself. That's worth the working!This is the story of one family. A family whose history saw its first ancestor captured, shackled, and brought to this country from Africa. A family who can still see remnants of the psychological shackles that hold some of its members slaves -- even today. It is a story of pride, determination, struggle, and love. And of the piece of land that holds them together through it all.
