Overview
The 1987 MAKO 23.5 Center Console is one of the most respected offshore fishing hulls produced during the classic era of MAKO boat manufacturing. Built with heavy hand-laid fiberglass and a deep-V offshore hull, these boats earned a reputation for durability, stability, and a smooth ride in rough water. Because of their rugged construction and timeless design, vintage MAKO center consoles from the 1980s remain highly sought after by serious anglers and collectors who appreciate the brand’s legendary offshore performance.

This vessel is powered by a 2003 Yamaha 225 HP four-stroke outboard with approximately 742 hours, delivering dependable power and efficient cruising capability. A T-top with outriggers enhances trolling performance and provides shade during long days on the water. The helm is equipped with a Furuno 9-inch multifunction display, offering reliable GPS navigation and fish-finding capability for offshore trips.

The console area is surrounded by clear isinglass windshield panels, helping block wind and spray while maintaining excellent visibility. Fuel capacity is configured with dual tanks including a 128-gallon primary tank and a 45-gallon auxiliary tank, providing extended range for offshore fishing and cruising.

The interior of the boat is reported to be in immaculate condition, reflecting careful ownership and maintenance over the years. Classic teak trim has been replaced, restoring the traditional MAKO appearance that collectors and enthusiasts appreciate. The wide beam and open center-console layout provide excellent 360-degree fishability, making the boat ideal for trolling, bottom fishing, or offshore sport fishing.

The vessel sits on a tandem-axle Continental trailer, making transportation and storage convenient. With its legendary hull design, reliable Yamaha power, upgraded electronics, and restored classic details, this MAKO represents a rare opportunity to own a well-maintained example of one of offshore fishing’s most iconic center console boats.
