I am looking at the new Makos. i noticed that they have a balsa cored floor, which is the only wood they have . Any older makos out there that have had floor problems? bob
Hi, As a 21ft 1983 owner, I`m luky to say I haven`t had problems with the floor.
But it IS common in older Makos. Usually starting out as "soft spots".
I have a 1982 20B.
Floors are still solid.
Spongy floors are one of the deal-breaker symptoms when shopping for an old mako, unless you want a project boat.
