2026 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater Edition

The 2026 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater is an 18.5-foot fiberglass flats boat built for shallow-water fishing. Its Rapid Planing System hull design enables quick acceleration to plane, even in minimal depths with a full load. The boat's 7.8-foot beam provides edge-to-edge stability across the flats and in inshore and nearshore waters.

Power comes from a single 175-horsepower Mercury Marine engine. The boat delivers 360-degree fishing access around its deck, an aerated livewell for bait storage, and provisions for modern fishing electronics of your choice.

The package includes a custom-fitted trailer built with disc brakes, LED lighting, and aluminum I-beam construction for durability and ease of towing.
