As a result of eighteen years of experience developing boats in stringent racing conditions, the Mako Mk-5 Fully Inflatable Racing Boat surpasses any other craft in its class in strength, durability, and handling. The Mk-5 Fully Inflatable Racing Boat has a unique tunnel hull design created from a mixture of aero and hydrodynamics which causes a phenomenal, almost flying effect at full speeds. The craft is stable and responsive at speeds in excess of 100 kilometers per hour. The tunnel helps to stabilize the boat when running in rough water, and to maintain a level angle of attack even when the boat is airborne. The Mk-5 Racing Boat enters and exits the water on a level plane and when returning to the water, the tunnel compresses the air underneath, thereby softening the landing.

Latest Test Results achieved on Flat Water:
Using a standard 50hp Yamaha with a 18″ Cleaver prop
106km/h was achieved with 2 people on board (pilot & crew)
