Matching a deep vee Mako Boats 204 CC 2013 against a modified vee Mako Boats 264 Center Console 2010 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 2010 measures 26,0 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 5,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Mako Boats 204 CC 2013 at 20,3 feet (2013). At 2 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 225 hp for the Mako Boats 204 CC 2013 and 225 hp for the Mako Boats 264 Center Console 2010. 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 Center Console 2010 carries 194 gallons versus 7 gallons in the Mako Boats 204 CC 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Mako Boats 264 Center Console 2010 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Mako Boats 204 CC 2013 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Mako Boats 264 Center Console 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Mako Boats 264 Center Console 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 26,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Mako Boats 204 CC 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
