2025 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater Edition

The 2025 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater is an 18.5-foot flats boat built on fiberglass with a 175-horsepower Mercury Marine outboard. Designed for shallow-water operation, the boat features the second-generation Rapid Planing System hull, which brings it onto plane quickly even in minimal depth with a full load. The hull prioritizes stability across the entire fishing platform, making it suited to inches-deep water and nearshore conditions alike.

The boat offers 360-degree fishing capability and includes an aerated livewell. A custom-fitted trailer with disc brakes, LED lighting, and aluminum I-beam construction is included.
