Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Mako Boats 204 Center Console 2009 vs Mako Boats 21 LTS 2021 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Mako Boats 204 Center Console 2009 vs Mako Boats 21 LTS 2021 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 225 hp, the Mako Boats 204 Center Console 2009 has a 75-hp advantage over the Mako Boats 21 LTS 2021'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 204 Center Console 2009 carries 85 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Mako Boats 21 LTS 2021. 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 204 Center Console 2009 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Mako Boats 21 LTS 2021 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Mako Boats 204 Center Console 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Mako Boats 204 Center Console 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Mako Boats 21 LTS 2021 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
