2025 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater Edition

The 2025 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater is an 18.5-foot fiberglass flats boat designed for shallow-water fishing. Its Rapid Planing System hull design enables quick acceleration onto plane even in minimal depths and with weight on board. The 7.83-foot beam provides edge-to-edge stability across the platform.

Power comes from a single 175-horsepower Mercury Marine engine. The boat accommodates 360-degree fishing access, a feature-rich layout for inshore and nearshore work. An aerated livewell is included, and the console is set up to accept modern fishing electronics of your choice.

The boat comes with a custom-fitted trailer featuring disc brakes, LED lighting, and aluminum I-beam construction built for durability and straightforward handling.
