2025 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater Edition

The 2025 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater is an 18.5-foot fiberglass flats boat built for shallow-water fishing. Its second-generation Rapid Planing System hull is designed to get on plane quickly, even in minimal water with a full load, and provides edge-to-edge stability across the deck for casting and movement.

Power comes from a single 175 hp Mercury Marine engine. The boat offers 360-degree fishing access around the deck and includes an aerated livewell. The design suits both flats and nearshore work, with shallow draft performance suited to inches of water.

A custom-fitted trailer is included with the boat. The trailer features disc brakes, LED lighting, and aluminum I-beam construction throughout.
