I had a lot of positive responses on my Mako 204 review I did about 18 months ago so I figured I should give an update on all the upgrades I have done to my boat since than. I wanted to show how I made my boat to be as efficient as possible for fishing both offshore and freshwater.

Great job on all the upgrades looks great.
Thanks for showing all you have done ! I got a 204 2016 myself and love it ! I put a hook2/ 9 and should have flipped my transducer as well opps it broke so lesson learned .
How much does the stryker electronics box cut down on your visibility when standing? You mentioned you were 6’4 (I’m 6’5) and was curious if the visibility was greatly reduced or not. It also seems like all of your electronics were mounted on your console, so would you ever consider removing it completely?
A well layer out, purpose designed fishing machine!
I bet you really love that boat!!
How does this 204 do verse the 21′ whaler Montauk?
Price is about double for the Whaler. Your rig seems to be very similar and decked out.
I saw a front facing LED light bar I didn’t hear you mention. Great job on the improvements, let’s go long and rock cod fishing some time, I’ve been dying to try it.
really wonderful channel, I am ur permanent friend from today dear,,,, ♥♥♥♥♥
Awesome boat. You can tell you actually fish in that boat with all of the well thought out additions. Thanks for sharing. You’re in the 916 area correct? Hope to see you out on the water sometime.
