[@hkm_865]

The wiring segment with Debbie was great 👍🏻 she’s a real craftsman and looks like she really enjoys it. So wholesome

[@hotactioncustoms7008]

I am always amazed by someone who dose a beautiful wiring job! looks beyond perfect!

[@ecountre]

Loved the mako 17 those size boat are the most fun to restore. I'm working on a 18 C Hawk now.

I will tell you this I am a truck and equipment mechanic that specializes in electrical electronics. And I am very peculiar about any repairs I make . She does one of the cleanest lay outs I have ever seen . Great job

[@f86sabjf]

That Mako is drop dead gorgeous 😍😍😍😍

[@tentimes4]

Really like the thinking behind the electronics wiring. It’s teaching me how to aesthetically wire better.

[@WesLovelace]

That's a sweet looking Mako!!

[@Dustinscustoms]

Love this show great boats with owners thoughts in mind

[@NHseacoast]

Why did Mako stop making their 17' classic Center Console boat years ago? The 17' Mako a great boat. After watching the Mako segment again I'd say its my favorite of all the boats covered on this segment, simple, reliable, small and fast. Im sure it's a lot of fun for the Dad and the son who fish it.

NHseacoast the sides are so low. It looks dangerous!

[@NHseacoast]

Music Islife depends on where you take it.Mako mades the 17' for 40 years and many bay boats 20-30' length today have low gunwales or sides similar to this boat.

[@officialWWM]

NHseacoast I guess they would be ok in a bay, they wouldn't be very useful where I live though (Tasmania).

[@FrankJohnson-r3e]

That Mako 17 is nearly as nice a boat as my 1975 Aquasport 170 & its 2000 Yamaha 115hp 😊😁👍

[@robertorodriguez8946]

Nice Mako, i am currently rebuilding one of those. Is that motor a 20” or 25” shaft? Thank you

[@JoseDiaz-yl9sh]

Sweet job guys. They look new.

[@kammiller8853]

Great show

[@mmanut]

BEAUTIFUL BOAT GUYS, LOVE IT. PERFECT SIZE AND YOU'RE GETTING 53 MPH OUT OF IT. THAT'S FAST FOR A 17 FOOTER. BE CAREFUL. YOU CAN EASILY BE THROWN OUT AT THAT SPEED AND YOU ARE DONE. MAKE SURE TO INSTAL A KILL SWITCH THAT ATTACHES TO YOU SO IF TOSSED AROUND OR OUT THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN. I'M TOTALLY JEALOUS, HAVE FUN‼️‼️🛳⛴. Vinny 🇺🇸

[@jswinsphoto]

Man I love this show and channel hahahaha

[@eddyleon7030]

What pitch prop you guys used on this setup?

[@MotoDUDEabides]

His son is like a young ray liotta!

[@lukementzer4013]

Someone find where they found the mako 17 logo on the side of the mako 17

[@vmonroig21]

eBay

[@andrewh.8848]

Theres a guy on classicmako.com who makes them. Totally custom colors and finishes. I had him make some for my 20 C.

[@seanjmichel]

That new motor is 12k...

[@Zombie_Element]

I got one for sale for 1500 in Texas needs a motor 😩

[@radman6350]

Too bad that 17 is pre 84', they beefed up the 17 that year.

[@hkm_865]

I think mercs are the best new outboards, definitely the fastest

[@mikesproul644]

George LaBonte. Why dont you say is name a couple of hundred more times. That dude really like to hear his own name.

[@officialWWM]

Imagine what these guys charge to work on your boat...

[@MegaBgibbs]

Nice Boat but did this guy say 53 mph w/ a 115!!?? Sorry, he either misspoke or fibbing.

[@leo7001]

bring back Marine customs. Show not the same anymore.

[@gdv4612]

One of the worst brands of boat made

[@jakeliddell5231]

“Bayliner”
