Mako 284: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Mako 284 Center Console is a versatile offshore fishing boat designed with both serious anglers and family functionality in mind. Measuring 28 feet 4 inches in length overall with a beam of 9 feet 10 inches and a hull draft of 21 inches, this model balances robust fishing features with comfortable accommodations, making it suitable for extended days on the water.
Fishing Features and Exterior Design
The 284CC is well-equipped for offshore fishing, beginning with a thoughtfully designed bait station that includes both high and low rocket launchers, a freshwater sink, and a 50-gallon live well. Adjacent to the bait station are storage drawers sized for Plano tackle boxes and a spacious loading surface. The boat offers ample rod storage with three rod racks beneath the gunnels capable of holding rods up to seven feet, complemented by three flush-mounted rod holders on the cap rail, mirrored on both sides of the vessel. The cockpit features two in-deck fish storage lockers totaling 390 quarts, which are insulated, macerated, and self-draining, with guttered hatches leading to large three-inch deck drains. An additional 470-quart insulated storage locker is located at the bow, which converts into an elevated casting deck when cushions are removed. The bow also includes a Maxwell windlass with a roller and a 10-inch stainless steel cleat for anchor management. Lighting for night fishing is comprehensive, with courtesy lights on both sides of the console, forward and aft spreader lights, and an overhead console light that switches between white and red. A dive door at the stern with a magnetic catch and optional dive ladder storage further enhance the boat's versatility.
Helm and Deck Layout
The helm is ergonomically designed with a cast steering wheel featuring a steering knob and SmartKraft gauges that minimize clutter while providing ample space for electronics, including a dedicated operator-facing panel. The compass is strategically positioned directly in line with the helm for accurate navigation. The helm windshield is composed of three pieces, allowing for individual replacement if damaged. Storage is abundant, with lockable electronics boxes featuring mirrors for easy content viewing, and pull-out tackle storage on both sides of the console. Seating arrangements include a double-wide helm seat with storage beneath, a flip-up rumble seat at the transom, a double-wide seat in front of the console, and V-shaped seating forward with insulated storage below. Battery switches are conveniently located inside the head compartment and on the back bulkhead, with removable knobs for security. The engine well is accessible via a platform for easy maintenance of the twin 300-horsepower Mercury Verado outboards.
Interior Amenities
The boat includes a spacious head compartment with 6 feet 7 inches of headroom, equipped with an electric Jabsco toilet and a freshwater sink. This freshwater system is supported by a 50-gallon tank that also supplies the bait station sink and a fresh water washdown. The head compartment also houses the battery switches, providing secure and convenient access.
Hull Design and Performance
The Mako 284CC features a hull with a 21-degree dead rise at the transom transitioning to a flat running surface, which contributes to quick planing times. The hull incorporates lifting strakes and a reverse chine, with the chine extending forward to form a spray rail beneath a pronounced bow flare. Trim tabs are recessed into the hull to aid in leveling the boat rather than enhancing handling. During testing with twin 300-horsepower Mercury Verado engines equipped with 19-pitch Mirage Plus props, the boat achieved a top speed of 54.5 miles per hour at 5,900 RPM, consuming 59.6 gallons per hour and providing a range of 187 miles. The most efficient cruise speed was 30.3 miles per hour at 3,500 RPM, burning 17 gallons per hour for an endurance of over 12 hours and 365 miles with a 10% fuel reserve. Acceleration was rapid, with planing reached in 3.1 seconds and 50 miles per hour achieved in under 15 seconds. Handling is precise and responsive, with the boat leaning 16 degrees into turns and maintaining excellent control without prop ventilation. The bow rises about 10 degrees on acceleration, requiring a technique of applying full power to plane quickly before settling into cruise trim. The hull cuts cleanly through waves, remains dry, and settles stern-first when decelerating. Maneuverability at low speeds is equally impressive, allowing for confident docking and tight turns.
Conclusion
The Mako 284 Center Console is a highly capable offshore fishing platform that also accommodates family needs with thoughtful design and comfort. Its combination of advanced fishing amenities, ergonomic helm layout, spacious seating, and strong performance make it a versatile and reliable choice for anglers and recreational boaters alike. The boat’s handling characteristics and efficient powertrain further enhance its appeal, delivering a confident and enjoyable experience on the water.
