2025 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater Edition

The Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater is a shallow-draft flats boat built on the second-generation Rapid Planing System hull, designed to operate in minimal water depths while maintaining stability across the gunwales. Powered by a 175-horsepower Mercury Marine engine, the boat reaches plane quickly even when loaded in skinny water, making it capable in both inshore and nearshore conditions.

The layout emphasizes 360-degree fishing access with an aerated livewell and space for tackle and gear. The boat is fitted with your choice of modern fishing electronics to suit different angling needs.

Included is a custom-fitted aluminum trailer with disc brakes and LED lights, built to Mako's specifications for the hull and engineered for reliable trailering.
