MAKO^® boats are built in Clinton, Missouri, by a team of boat builders with decades of experience and a passion for building quality fishing boats. Here, designers, engineers and manufacturing experts apply their insight, creativity and the latest lean-manufacturing methods to meet the needs and dreams of anglers with the highest expectations for their boats. Focus on quality and continuous improvement is aided by an advanced Voice of the Customer^™ system, which brings them continuous feedback reflecting the experience of thousands of owners.
Every MAKO boat design starts with the latest in computer-aided design (CAD) technology, assuring the highest levels of quality and manufacturability. The building process begins in the plant's lay-up area where hulls, stringer grid systems, deck assemblies and other fiberglass components are produced using state-of-the-art materials and fabrication techniques.

It then moves through each stage of production until the finished boat is ready for final inspection and preparation for shipment. This system puts each step of the process in the hands of specialists trained specifically for the tasks they perform.

Along the way, teams of quality control managers closely monitor each boat's progress, performing a long list of analytical inspections. Every boat must be approved at each stage of production before moving to the next. Only after passing a final inspection is it shrink-wrapped and readied for delivery. It's a painstaking process that's repeated again and again, day-in and day-out. Because, in the end, our reputation rides with every boat we build.
