Makocraft frenzy owners!!!

Shauno · #1 20-10-2009, 06:59 AM

Hi guys I have just ordered a makocraft frenzy and now have to sit and wait till its ready...

Just wanting to know what the performance is like with the track rail bottom, I am thinking of getting this feature removed to assist speed.

what do owners currently get from their rigs?

example (source modern fishing boat test)

470 Frenzy 75hp Otimax WOT 56.8 km/h @ 5400rpm
cheers in advance

I have attached a pic from that article for those who are unsure what a frenzy is....

Makocraft would have it there for a reason.....

Sometimes I think speed is overrated. Lets be honest, most time will be spent cruising at 14-18 knots anyway. Just my opinion.......

I tend to drive at two speeds mate, 7 knots or flat knacker... so top end speed is important for me...

They (the track rails) are fitted for stability, but many other hulls i.e bluefins, horizons, quintrex's dont have them and the stability is fine. The other added benefit I think is the turning ability the rails give the hull. "like its on train tracks" is what people have said about their makocrafts.

I'd hope a few Frenzy owners would post their likes and dislikes and the speed of their rigs...

Cheers Shauno

Pm "knobby" on this site. He has a mako with a 90 tohatsu DI and its hitting the 35knot mark I think. Looks to be a nice boat and more than suited for breaming and offshore work.

Thanks, called Alf and having a look at the options. The soft ride transom to the normal transom?

soft rider transom = bigger engine, i think? I never had that option when i bought mine.

Just put an Elite Ti2 9" sounder on the console.
After nearly 8 years the console is as I had pictured it all that time ago.
