2026 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Patriot Edition

The 2026 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Patriot Edition combines proven shallow-water performance with premium inshore and nearshore equipment in a distinctive special edition. Built on the Gen 2 Rapid Planing System hull, it delivers immediate shallow-water acceleration and responsive, on-rail handling across the flats. The fiberglass hull features a striking two-tone patriotic design that distinguishes it both on the water and at the ramp.

Power comes from a 175 hp Mercury ProXS engine paired with trim tabs for smooth performance through chop. Navigation and positioning are managed by a GPS-enabled Minn Kota Riptide trolling motor with I-Pilot control, holding position in current, wind, and waves. At the helm, a 7-inch Sharktooth digital gauge and Wet Sounds four-speaker stereo round out the control and entertainment setup.

The boat rides on a saltwater-ready trailer engineered specifically for this hull. Custom patriotic color schemes and decking complete the special edition package throughout the boat.
