2025 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater Edition

The Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater is designed for shallow-water fishing, capable of operating in just inches of water across flats and inshore grounds. Built on the second-generation Rapid Planing System hull, it achieves fast plane-on performance even when loaded and running shallow. The fiberglass construction spans 18.5 feet with a 7.83-foot beam, providing edge-to-edge stability suited to skinny water.

Power comes from a single 175 hp Mercury Marine engine. The boat offers 360-degree fishing access with an aerated livewell and provisions for electronics integration. A custom-fitted trailer with disc brakes, LED lights, and aluminum I-beam construction is included.
