2026 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater Edition

The 2026 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Backwater is a shallow-draft flats boat built on the company's second-generation Rapid Planing System hull, designed to get on plane quickly even in minimal water and with a full load. At 18 feet 6 inches long with a 7-foot 10-inch beam, it delivers edge-to-edge stability across the platform. Power comes from a single 175-horsepower Mercury Marine engine.

The boat is laid out for 360-degree fishing access around the gunwales. An aerated livewell supports live baitfish. The helm accepts modern fishing electronics to your specification. The fiberglass construction is finished to production standards.

The boat is sold with a custom-fitted aluminum trailer featuring disc brakes and LED lighting.
