2025 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater Edition

The 2025 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater is a shallow-draft flats boat built for skinny water performance. At 18.5 feet with a 7.8-foot beam, it combines edge-to-edge stability with the Rapid Planing System hull design, which gets the boat on plane quickly even in minimal water depth and with a full load. Powered by a single 175 hp Mercury Marine engine, the boat is designed for inshore and nearshore fishing.

The layout offers 360-degree fishing access throughout the boat. An aerated livewell is included for live bait management. The boat accommodates a choice of fishing electronics, allowing customization to the owner's preferred navigation and sonar setup.

The package includes a custom-fitted aluminum trailer with disc brakes and LED lighting, built with an I-beam frame designed for durability and reliable towing.
