The Mako 261 is a highly sought after classic from the legendary boat builder and we spared no expense to restore PERLA AZUL. From the ribs and stringers, the deck and custom console were built with marine grade 1" plywood and four layers of 1708 biaxial fiberglass cloth with 1 oz. chopped straw mat backing and West System epoxy resin. Interior (Hatteras white) and exterior (Navy blue) of the hull were painted using two-part polyurethane. The transom was re-enforced to 8” thick and Armstrong bracket added. A new 165 gallon aluminum fuel tank sits beneath the console. And 3” stainless tubing with re enforced canvas rounds out the custom T top. Onew wiring and batteries carefully and cleanly installed for easy troubleshooting.
The Yamaha 200hp HPDI engine is considered one of the best and most efficient engines of its day. Look these motors up on theHullTruth.com and read what owners have to say. After more than 3000 hours, the powerhead were recently rebuilt in July 2025 on both engines. Powered by twin 200hp motors, PERLA AZUL's top speed is just under 50mph.
