2026 Mako 18 Pro Skiff

The 2026 Mako 18 Pro Skiff is a flats boat designed for shallow-water fishing. Built on a fiberglass hull with an ultra-shallow draft and wide 7.83-foot beam, it emphasizes stability and stealth. The hull incorporates lightweight flotation foam for sound insulation, allowing quiet movement through skinny water. A Rapid Planing System transom provides enhanced rear lift for quick, smooth acceleration in shallow conditions.

The boat's layout prioritizes fishing function. Six vertical rod holders keep tackle accessible, while storage beneath the front deck accommodates gear. The design accommodates trim tab provisions and an optional poling platform for added versatility in tight inshore zones. Throughout the boat, the structure delivers edge-to-edge stability suited to poling, casting, and navigating confined waters.

Power comes from a single 150 hp Mercury Marine outboard. The boat is supplied with a custom-fit, fully galvanized trailer featuring a swing-away tongue to resist corrosion and simplify storage and launching.
