I have owned this yak for a few months. Loving learning to fish on the California delta. & I'm jumping the wake of speedboats out on the big river. Awesome. Love my Mako 12.
Larry Brickman where did you order it from? Im looking for a peddle yak as my first ever kayak since im a fisherman. Only doing lakes so not alot of rough water.
Such an exciting kayak to hit the market. Can't wait to get one! I love the hull design...great for surf with that high freeboard bow shape (reminds me of Panga boat hulls which are highly efficient).
Is this the Rush (lime/black color)? And have they made any changes to the 2019 model? Especially such as making the hull (firmer) and or deck (to handle that deck flex seen in the 12') with a thicker more long term durable material?
I have one love it but we're the peddle motor goes it's all cracked all they way through were can I get the plastic welding rods to repairs it only 2 years old??? Please help. Thanks kevin!!
Hi Tyler, On the Mako 10 there is not much flex as the Mako 12 but its still not extreme. The Flex is due to the plastic not being so thick as other brands which makes it a lighter kayak. We have not had any complaints from our customers so far they all love it. -OPS
I would spring for this or the ten if either of them had a transducer mount in the hull ..... instead that silly little add on is going to cost me between $600-$800 more in buying the Pescador pilot 12..........
Would love to see an actual Rio Mako owner do a review and not a staffer. Sorry but from what I’ve seen from other Mako owners their reviews differ from this review I’ll just leave it at that and say would love to see actual owners comment on their Mako’s.
