1990 Mako 231 Center Console for Sale

For sale is a completely re-done 1990 Mako 231. I bought this boat with a cut-down transom. I took it to a boat builder who installed a new transom. I asked him to over build it so that it could handle a 300 HP engine. He made the transom so thick that I had to buy longer bolts from Stainless Marine! The engine was diagnosed with a weak cylinder. I considered rebuilding it, but figured I'd be better off replacing the existing engine. Most people want a boat with a working engine. I understand that. However, one can purchase an engine from thousands of different sources, while finding a reputable boat builder to cut out the floor, build a new transom and make it look decent is hard to come by. It's a solid platform upon which to hang an engine that, as mentioned can be acquired easily. And, if you provide the engine, you KNOW what you have. If you purchase a boat with a used engine on it, do you really know what you have? The boat still has the original scuppers (two on each side) and it does sit above the waterline. I added a watertight inspection hatch ($500+) instead of the normal Mako inspection hatch. The transom and swim platform were completed for around $6,000 (2006 when the labor rate was $40/hour). It would probably cost much more to do that today. The boat trailer is included. It is in fairly good condition, but the tires while looking ok are old and should be replaced before any long trips. I do have a brand new spare tire (recently purchased) for the trailer. The lights and brakes worked well the last time I used it. This is a very nice package for someone with a 225 - 300 hp engine looking for a home. I have all (most) combing and seat cushions. I also have a spray bonnet to keep your guests comfortable and dry in the event of a sudden storm or if they don't like the sun. T-top in good condition also. The leaning post has a removable backrest which is nice for long trips. Other little niceties are pull up cleats in the rear to reduce line snag when fishing. I'd be happy to discuss any questions that you may have. Randy 410-six 27 - four nine 23
