Matching a tunnel Mako Boats 1901 Tunnel Inshore 2010 against a modified vee Mako Boats 264 Express 2008 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Mako Boats 264 Express 2008 measures 26,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 7,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Mako Boats 1901 Tunnel Inshore 2010 at 18,8 feet (2010). At 17 lbs and 65 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 150 hp for the Mako Boats 1901 Tunnel Inshore 2010 and 150 hp for the Mako Boats 264 Express 2008. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Mako Boats 264 Express 2008 carries 174 gallons versus 47 gallons in the Mako Boats 1901 Tunnel Inshore 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 7 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
