2026 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater Edition

The 2026 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater is a shallow-draft flats boat built for inches-deep water and inshore fishing. Its fiberglass hull uses the second-generation Rapid Planing System design, which brings the boat onto plane quickly even when lightly loaded in minimal water. The 18.5-foot length and 7.83-foot beam deliver edge-to-edge stability across the fishing grounds.

Power comes from a single 175 hp Mercury Marine engine. The layout provides 360-degree fishing access with an aerated livewell for baitfish. The boat is equipped to accept modern fishing electronics of your choice.

The package includes a custom-fitted aluminum trailer with disc brakes and LED lights, designed for durable road use.
