I live in upstate SC and recently retired. I grew up on the coast and want to get back into salt water fishing now that I have free time. Looking for something to tow to south Florida in winter for mahi, kings and sailfish (possibly even run across to Bahamas), scuba dive and snorkel patch reefs in keys and use on lakes in summer. I rented a mako 221 for a week in the abacos in January and loved it. Great ride, plenty of room to fish and storage for gear - fishing tackle, spears and snorkel gear. But they are old. I don’t know what I don’t know so that is what my worry is. I want a boat that is a tool - I will use it hard, do the maintenance and wash it off but not going to polish it or cry over scratches and dings and it doesn’t have to be pretty. Please help point me in the right direction. Reliable and durable.
Thanks in advance.
