2019 Maverick Mirage 18 HPX-V

The 2019 Maverick Mirage 18 HPX-V is an 18-foot technical poling skiff built with vacuum-infused fiberglass hull construction. The boat features Maverick's HPX-V deep-V hull design, engineered for shallow-water flats fishing with a draft of approximately 10 to 12 inches when fully loaded. The design prioritizes a high strength-to-weight ratio, offering a soft, dry ride in choppy conditions while maintaining the shallow draft needed for backcountry access.

The boat is laid out with wide, open casting decks designed to accommodate multiple anglers. Storage includes dedicated lockable rod storage and large dry-storage compartments for tackle and gear. The boat is equipped with a high-capacity livewell system and efficient fuel management, paired with an ergonomic helm layout that emphasizes responsive handling and precision tracking in tight mangrove creeks and across open flats.

Built for silent poling and low-drag performance, the Mirage 18 HPX-V combines the shallow-water capability and maneuverability expected of a technical flats skiff with durable construction and thoughtful angler-focused design. It runs on gasoline power and is configured as a single-engine boat suited to serious fishing operations in coastal waters.
