Matching a tunnel Mako Boats 1901 Tunnel Inshore 2011 against a deep vee Mako Boats 264 Center Console 2007 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 Center Console 2007 measures 26,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 7,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Mako Boats 1901 Tunnel Inshore 2011 at 18,8 feet (2011). At 17 lbs and 45 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.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 450 hp, the Mako Boats 264 Center Console 2007 has a 300-hp advantage over the Mako Boats 1901 Tunnel Inshore 2011's 150-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Mako Boats 264 Center Console 2007 carries 194 gallons versus 47 gallons in the Mako Boats 1901 Tunnel Inshore 2011. 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.
