Here in Nassau there is a '95 Mako 19 with '02 200hp Yamaha Salt water series for sale. New Bim. top, VHS, GPS etc.

I've seen the hull which looks in good (not immaculate) cond.

Asking $13.5k or $9.5k hull only. Fair price?

Hi Ritter,

19s are nice boats but look it over carfully. A boat that has been used is much better than a boat that has been sitting. In my opinion 9gs is a little strong for the hull. The motor is still 10 years old. By the way, where is Nassau? The Bahamas? There are alot of guys from my area on the site and Makos are very reasonable in SW Florida.

Remember everything in The Bahamas cost's more.

Ritter,

I found a '97 Mako 191 with a '98 Johnson Ocean Pro 150hp in very good shape for less money. It was a one owner garage/cover kept for several years.

Warthog5 (Bobby) is correct location has a lot to do with the price.

Bottom line is you have to be happy with your deal.

Remember "Its a Mako".

Yes- everything has import duty applied to it hence a relatively higher price. That said, fewer buyers so resale discount is marked.

Still- thanks for all the advice.
