2025 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater Edition

The Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater is a shallow-draft flats boat built on a second-generation Rapid Planing System hull that achieves plane in minimal water depth even under load. At 18 feet 6 inches with a beam of nearly 8 feet, the boat delivers edge-to-edge stability designed for skinny water and inshore fishing. Power comes from a single 175-horsepower Mercury Marine engine.

The layout offers 360-degree fishing access with an aerated livewell and provision for modern fishing electronics. The boat is constructed from fiberglass for durability in the flats environment.

A custom-fitted aluminum trailer with disc brakes and LED lighting is included. The trailer features Mako's aluminum I-beam construction for long-term durability.
