Mako 284 Center Console: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Mako 284 Center Console stands as the flagship model in Mako's line of offshore fishing boats, embodying over 40 years of development focused on fishability, comfort, and durability. Designed as a capable open ocean fishing rig, it incorporates professional-grade features and advanced materials to ensure reliable performance in diverse weather conditions while providing ample storage and workspace for serious anglers.

Exterior Design and Deck Layout

At the stern, the 284CC offers a spacious area that facilitates easy movement around the engines and convenient access to a dive ladder for water entry. A large port side walkthrough door provides access, adjacent to which is a swim shower and water connection. The test model featured a complete bolster package for enhanced protection during fishing. Mechanical components and pumps are accessible through a sizable in-floor hatch. Twin insulated fish boxes, each with a 390-quart capacity, are integrated into the aft floor with dedicated drains and macerator pumps to keep catches fresh. Rod racks are installed under the gunnels, with additional rod holders mounted on the gunnel tops, catering to professional fishing needs. For added comfort when carrying passengers, an optional easy store stern seat is available. The bait prep station includes a 50-gallon bait well, grab rail, sink, and tackle trays. The standard T-top, equipped with five rod holders, can be upgraded with features such as three outriggers and ten rod holders, as seen on the test boat, which also included dual electronics setups for redundancy.

Helm and Control Station

The helm area is designed with ample space to accommodate a customized electronics array. Steering is managed via dual hydraulic cylinders, complemented by standard recessed trim tabs and digital throttle and shift controls compatible with Mercury Verado engines. The leaning post seat offers comfort with a supportive backrest, starboard-side tip-out tackle bins, and extensive under-seat storage. On the port side, six tackle organizers and two tackle drawers provide additional storage. The helm layout prioritizes functionality and ease of use for offshore fishing operations.

Console and Interior Amenities

The console compartment is thoughtfully arranged to include a battery switch and management center, a sink, electronics access, and a portable head. The console seat is designed for comfort and practicality, featuring a 30-quart insulated cooler beneath and access points for water fill and waste pump out. This area also houses a head compartment, enhancing the boat's family-friendly design. Protective rails surround the bow and bench seats forward, with bench seat lockers and a large in-floor locker providing ample storage. The bow houses a sizable anchor windlass compartment and a line locker equipped with power for kite reels, demonstrating the boat's versatility for various fishing techniques.

Specifications and Performance

Measuring 28 feet 4 inches in length with a beam of 9 feet 10 inches, the 284 Center Console has a hull weight of approximately 6,000 pounds. It is rated to support up to 600 horsepower via outboard engines, with pre-rigging options available for Mercury, Honda, Suzuki, and Bombardier powerplants. The fuel capacity of 235 gallons enables extended offshore excursions. The design includes wide walkways and spacious deck areas, facilitating efficient fishing operations from bow to stern.

Conclusion

The Mako 284 Center Console is a well-conceived offshore fishing platform that blends professional-grade features with user-friendly design elements. Its robust construction, ample storage, and customizable fishing amenities make it suitable for serious anglers seeking a reliable and comfortable boat for diverse offshore conditions. The model's versatility and thoughtful layout support a wide range of fishing styles and family-friendly use, making it a compelling choice in its class.
