2025 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater Edition

The Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater is a shallow-draft flats boat built for fishing in minimal water. Its Rapid Planing System hull design gets on plane quickly even in inches of water and with a full load, providing stability across the entire deck. The 175-horsepower Mercury Marine engine delivers responsive power suited to backcountry navigation and inshore conditions.

The boat is laid out for fishing with 360-degree access around the gunwales and an aerated livewell for live bait. The fiberglass hull measures 18.5 feet in length with a 7.83-foot beam, offering a compact footprint for shallow waters while maintaining stability.

A custom-fitted aluminum trailer with disc brakes and LED lighting is included with the boat. The trailer features an I-beam construction designed for durable, reliable trailering over time.
