1990 Mako 261 - any good?

[Lorne]

Looking at purchasing one of these boats and putting new 200 hp merc outboards on it. Anyone who is familiar with this boat would be helping a lot in commenting on it's seawithyness and quality. <br />The boat has a very deep V . <br />Does at roll from side to side a lot?? <br />About what would the max speed be with these motors?<br /><br />The boat will be used on the ocean, sometimes in rough water.

lorne,<br /><br />my buddy has a 84 25 foot mako center console with twin johnson 120s. hey, its rides solid. we clock out at around 40 something. -- nope it dont shack or rattle..unless you stuck at those 3-6 foot seas. then anything would shake.<br /><br />but just do the usual inspection and make sure its good.<br /><br />good luck
