The 2026 Mako 18 Pro Skiff is a fiberglass flats boat engineered for shallow-water fishing. Its hull design incorporates lightweight flotation foam for sound insulation, enabling quiet movement through skinny water. The ultra-shallow draft and wide beam provide edge-to-edge stability suited to poling and casting in tight inshore zones. A Rapid Planing System transom enhances rear lift for quicker, smoother takeoffs in shallow conditions.
The layout prioritizes angler functionality. Six vertical rod holders keep tackle accessible, while under-deck storage forward keeps gear organized. Trim tab provisions and an optional poling platform offer added versatility for different fishing techniques and conditions.
Power comes from a single 175 hp Mercury Marine engine. The boat measures 18.5 feet in length with a 7.83-foot beam.
A fully galvanized trailer with swing-away tongue is included, designed to resist corrosion through extended use and transport.
