2023 Mako 18
About This Yacht
The 2023 Mako 18 LTS is an 18.5-foot center console fishing boat built entirely from composite materials. Powered by a single 115-horsepower Mercury outboard, the boat features Mako's exclusive Rapid Planing System, engineered to deliver quick plane-off and a smooth, dry ride. A hydraulic jack plate and trim tabs support performance tuning, while factory-matched propeller setup ensures optimal efficiency.
The boat is fully equipped for serious fishing. Twin Power-Poles provide anchoring capability, and a Minn Kota Maxxum 24V trolling motor handles low-speed maneuvering. Three batteries and a Nocco Genius 5x3 charger deliver reliable power for extended time on the water. Navigation and fish-finding duties are handled by a Garmin ECHOMAP UHD2 touch screen fish finder and chart plotter with GT56UHD-TM transducer.
A custom single-axle aluminum trailer with stainless steel hardware and Sure Lube hubs completes the package. The trailer's swing-away tongue reduces overall storage length, and a swing-up locking jack with swivel wheel simplifies launching and retrieval. Dry weight is 1,755 pounds.
