2026 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater Edition

The 2026 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater is a shallow-draft flats boat built on the second-generation Rapid Planing System hull, designed to perform in minimal water depths while maintaining stability across the full deck. Powered by a single Mercury Marine 150 hp engine, it comes rigged for immediate planing even when loaded and operating in skinny water.

The boat accommodates 360-degree fishing access with an aerated livewell integrated into its layout. The open deck plan supports flats and inshore fishing, with space for electronics mounting and tackle placement.

The boat comes equipped with a custom-fitted trailer featuring disc brakes, LED lighting, and aluminum I-beam construction.
