Mako 21 LTS: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Boat Test Review on BoatTest.com

Overview

The Mako 21 LTS is a 21-foot fishing boat designed primarily for coastal angling. Its layout and features emphasize functionality for anglers, with ample casting space, storage solutions, and fishing-specific amenities. The boat also offers versatility for family outings, combining fishing capabilities with comfortable seating and practical design.

Fishing Features and Storage

The bow of the Mako 21 LTS features a spacious casting deck measuring 8 feet long by 6 feet 8 inches wide, elevated by a step of 1 foot 3 inches, providing ample room for fighting fish. The stern fishing deck is similarly designed with a 1 foot 1 inch step up and dimensions of 7 feet 10 inches across by 3 feet deep. Vertical rod holders flank each side of the console, complemented by a starboard bow locker capable of storing at least eight 7-foot rods. Additional rod storage includes four rocket launcher-style holders located at the back of the leaning post. The aft deck houses a 30-gallon livewell equipped with a ProAir aeration system. A suggested improvement is the addition of a rubber bumper on the livewell hatch to prevent scratching the fiberglass when it rests on the rod holders.

Storage and Seating Arrangements

Storage on the 21 LTS is thoughtfully arranged with multiple coolers and compartments. A 72-quart cooler with a cushioned lid is situated on the forward side of the helm console and is secured with straps. A larger 90-quart cooler with a padded hatch is integrated into the leaning post base. The bow includes an anchor locker with a removable insert and a 136-quart draining compartment just aft of it. A long port side storage box offers an additional 90-quart capacity. The outboard bow compartments feature extra-long hatches secured by two latches each, and nearly all hatches operate on gas struts with thick rubber gaskets for secure closure. The aft storage compartment also contains the two-stroke oil reservoir, while a removable panel to port provides access to the bilge and livewell pumps. Seating options include the forward cooler, which allows occupants to brace against a step and aluminum pipework during rough conditions. The helm features a fold-down footrest and tilt wheel to accommodate drivers of various sizes, with the option to drive while standing. The backrest is removable and can be relocated to the aft deck to create a bench seat, and passengers can use the leaning post frame as a handhold.

Helm and Controls

The helm of the Mako 21 LTS is designed for straightforward operation. It includes a tilt wheel and an easily reachable shift throttle control. Instrumentation provided by Mako consists of a tachometer and fuel and water pressure gauges, although the use of black-faced instruments could reduce glare. Clearly labeled accessory switches are positioned on the dash, which also features a foam pad for placing tools such as pliers. To the right of the throttle are a 12-volt power outlet and two cup holders, one of which can be used for charging a cell phone. The console base panel is removable, facilitating battery inspection or replacement. The boat is equipped with seven retractable cleats, a notable number for a vessel of this size, and the fuel fill is conveniently located on the port side, aligning with the driver's side of a towing vehicle for ease of refueling.

Performance and Power

The Mako 21 LTS can be outfitted with an outboard motor up to 225 horsepower. The test boat was powered by a 200 horsepower Optimax two-stroke engine paired with a 19-inch pitch Tempest Plus three-blade stainless steel propeller. Performance testing revealed a top speed of 50.8 miles per hour at 5500 RPM, with a fuel consumption rate of 18.5 gallons per hour, yielding a range of approximately 138 miles at wide-open throttle. The most efficient cruising speed was identified at 3500 RPM, where the boat achieved 31.2 miles per hour while burning 6.8 gallons per hour, extending the range to 231 miles with a 10% fuel reserve. The hull incorporates the Rapid Planing System, a design shared with Nitro bass boats, which enables quick acceleration—reaching 20 miles per hour in 3.3 seconds and 30 miles per hour in 5 seconds. Maneuverability tests demonstrated responsive handling through S-turns, circles, and tight arcs. The 21-foot length provides sufficient stability to handle wakes and choppy conditions effectively.

Conclusion

The Mako 21 LTS is a well-conceived coastal fishing boat that balances angler-specific features with versatility for family use. Its large forward casting deck, abundant lockable storage, and thoughtful seating arrangements support extended fishing excursions. Powered by a capable outboard engine and featuring a hull design optimized for rapid planing and maneuverability, the 21 LTS performs well in a variety of conditions. Overall, it is a practical and efficient choice for anglers seeking a reliable and comfortable fishing platform.
