2025 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater Edition

The 18 Pro Skiff Backwater is a new flats boat built on Mako's second-generation Rapid Planing System hull, engineered for shallow-water operation and stability across its beam. At 18.5 feet with a 7.83-foot beam, it planes quickly even when loaded and in minimal water. Powered by a single 175-horsepower Mercury Marine engine, the boat delivers the performance needed for both flats and nearshore fishing.

The layout prioritizes fishing access, with 360-degree deck space and an aerated livewell. The boat accommodates your choice of modern fishing electronics to suit your needs.

The package includes a custom-fitted trailer with disc brakes, LED lighting, and aluminum I-beam construction for long-term durability and easy transport.
