Nah, mine's not even made from the same moulds or by the same company.
I'm aware that there were some very serious issues with some of the earlier Mako built ones. It's rather an eye opener to see it though.

Couldn't bring myself to putting back a single ply stringer so we've doubled them up. Laminated together and staggers joints. Just invade you're watching closely

How do you fix the knee to the transom? Screw/ bolt or adhesive/matt?
Or both?

We will bond the stringers down and then place matt between all the separate pieces of ply and then clamp it all together. That way the transom, knees and stringers will all be encapsulated in there own right, if any part ever get wet it won't affect anything else

Very informative. All these little items are missed in builds by so many.

Lovely plastic seat base, selling point for some manufacturers.
They still screw wood underneath it to anchor into!
