Slick Craft Mako Shark

1960's Mako Shark by Slick Craft. RARE BOAT - Not restored. "As is" condition. Designed for a kid's use. Second owner - bought used in the 70's. Last ran 10 years ago using a remote fuel tank. As far as I know, engine and lower unit are in running condition. There is a main fueltank under the front deck that needs to be cleaned out. Fiberglass hull is in good shape. There is a small hole in the fiberglass just below the engine access on the backfrom the steering linkage which does not effect the performance of the boat, it is strictly cosmetic which can be easily repaired. No trailer, no paperwork. This boat just needs TLC.

Q:

I have

never come across this model of boat in the Slick Craft Boat Company literature.

Do you have a photograph of the manufacturer's identification plate or hull

number to verify the maker of this boat? Looking forward to your reply.

A:

We've owned this boat since 1977

(I was a kid; my dad bought it) . I don't know much about it other than it's

called a Mako Shark. I researched it on the internet many times and could not

find any information on it. I made a lot of calls, spoke to a lot of people,

sent out pictures. I got the following info from a boat enthusiast: Mako Shark

was a model of boat made by a company called Slick Craft. They were bought out

by Evinrude. Evinrude made their own boats for a while out of fiberglass, later

became part of Johnson, now called OMC. I cannot find any plates or plaques

anywhere on the hull, inside or out, nor can I find any hull identification

number. I'd love to get more information on this boat.

Q:

Can you

give me the dimensions of this and weight approximately
