WC266- I'm in Jacksonville, Fl. Yes I would be interested in getting the info on your friends boat.

If the transom has damage is that something that will be detected in the survey?

You guys have been a great help.

Thanks!

Yep, that's the first thing my surveyor looked for. He should have a moisture meter & a sounding hammer to assess the condition of the transom as well as other cored structures on the boat.

1983 Mako 245 is one of the better boats Mako built. My buddy owns a restoration shop and he owns one and it is built like a tank. Only structural repairs have been to replace 25 inch transom with 30 inch transom.

Supposedly, Mako built the 254 in an attempt to go after the commercial/environmental police boat market that Boston Whaler had the lock on in the eighties.
