- Wow - since the Pandemic caused boat prices to go insane, rare has it been that we have found three boats in this series that are all 'cheap" by 2024 standards.
Today was that day. Thank you to Dale for the lead on the Steiger. Let me know in the comments which of these you would pick and why.

If the floor is solid on the Mako and the hull isn't damaged that's an awesome flip boat. People love those old Mako and fishing boats always sell. CC are by far the easiest to work on. Outboards any day over an inboard/outboard for working on 😂. You can flip that Mako for double if you put a little work into it.
Great video again John. As another person mentioned, we are ready for an update video of your eastward cat. Upate on the water first, then the first fishing video on that boat, can't wait🙂👍
Definitely the Mako. The mystery drivetrain on the Steiger, especially a stern drive is a no go,unless it can easily be repowered to outdrive. The bow rider probably would be a great small lake boat but you can get 25’ cruisers for that price on the Great Lakes.
Had a '79 Volare wagon with the 318 V8; silver with red velour interior - I bought it brand new in Miami, FL. Drove to and from NY several times with it and never had any trouble with her. Kept her 'til '91 when I sold her to a Coastie (BM1) from Rockaway Station. He fell in love with how mechanically clean she was too. He never complained in the years since about her. Funny thing, she made trips out by you during the summer to Laurel, NY on the south fork where the in-laws have a summer house. I like the Steiger but only if there's no wood under the deck (stringers). Heard they had a lot of problems with the wooden stringers during the earlier years.
My grandmother had a 80s dodge K car that I painted in high school and drove for a few months . Lot of memories seeing that era of cars
It took me two years to sell my 2002 21 Chesapeake for $15000. In 2011. Yes I Took a beating. IMO if you’re trailering, a roller is the only way to go, they winch up straight and centered, unload easily. A bunk trailer is designed to float a boat on and your most likely have to put your rear wheels and axle in the salt water to achieve that, which is not good, ( most of the ramps are not steep enough) I’ve had both. Good work John thanks.
Thanks! Oh for sure easier with the roller trailer. My concern is the strap breaking :)
Woohoo! Never owned a classic Mako 17, but love the idea of its functionality.

I think that’s a 191 or 201
I love 7-11 coffee😂😂😂
Best coffee is at 7/11!!!!!
No comment on those boats. When are we going to get an update on your Cat John? 🤔🤔👍👍
Haha, soon I hope. Electronics ex trolling motor installed. Bottom pain and transducer all that's left
I would take the Stieger. Just me . Thanks for the great video John.
Totally with you on the Mako. Assuming it runs OK it's a fair price for what it is, just needs a little tlc.
Mako is a great boat for someone who has a place on a lake or on the bay just to poke around on!
I like the cabin for weather protection
Love these drive by videos. Where is that eastward- need an update!!
Thanks - electronics installed and TM soon. Then it’s off to boat yard for bottom paint and a few little things. Hoping to be in water by the 26th. Still need to do 20 hour break in so believe me, I’m itching to go
@@jiggingjerks Love to see another update video when ready to roll
Who’s doing the electronics ?
@@richardkohut4309 Blu-j Marine!
❤❤❤
I saw the Mako 4/17 ...it's had a hard life... damage to the bow, worn out swivel chairs no instruments, Engine ?? all plywood hatch covers de -laminating ...$3,500...++++
I think there is a boat for sale in my driveway. If not it should be. Eastwind 24 !
Hahaha
I will buy the one for 10K but because of my location I would have to pay I'm shipping company just a ship it to the Caribbean just to have it
What country?
So in that perspective for me the price will be three times as much just to ship it and have it
I live in St.kitts
@@rodneywilliams3560 got it - yes, that’s quite a distance from Long Island :)
donot make it a hard decision buy the one for 10k
One ancient Merc and two I/O's. Life is too short. I like the Steiger otherwise.,
That’s boat isn’t in bad shape for 52 years old I’m sure it’s caught tons of fish
