I gotto to agree about the crafsmenship of the Mako's of that era. We bought a Mako 221 about the same time this friend bought his 171 and we had all sorts of problems with the fiberglass in the hull, after alot of discusion with the rep and the factory they replaced our hull with 212. I have to admit they did step up to the plate with our complaints and we ended up being a satisfied customer, but there producto did leave alot to be desired

That doesn't sound to good. I guess it isn't going to be cheap to fix either.

Went out this weekend on friends Mako 171 which is only about 5 years old and was surprised how much flex some parts of the floor had, especially behind the console. This boat is kept up pretty nicely and doesn't get much if any abuse. He mostly uses it to go out skiing with the kids and stuff like that, nothing hardcore. So my question is what causes this and what can be done about it. I've been around boats most of my life and never experienced this before, and the boats we've had have been used in all sorts of conditions and used in everything from skiing with the family to offshore fishing trips.
