2026 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Patriot Edition Base

2026 Mako 18 Pro Skiff Patriot Edition

The Pro Skiff 18 Patriot edition takes the proven shallow water performance of the Pro Skiff 18 and adds a compete roster of premium inshore and nearshore goodies with one-of-a-kind patriotic touches that set off this special edition on the water and at the ramp. An eye-catching two-tone hull hints at the performance and features the Patriot carries, beginning with the Gen 2 Rapid Planing System™ hull for instant shallow-water holeshots and on-rails handling across the flats.

A GPS-enabled Minn Kota® Riptide trolling motor with I-Pilot® control keeps you “anchored” in position in current, wind, and waves while the 175HP Mercury® ProXS meshes with trim tabs to deliver sizzling performance and a smooth ride across chop. At the helm, a 7” Sharktooth™ digital gauge is standard and complements the Wet Sounds® four-speaker stereo. Rounding out this special edition is a custom patriotic color scheme and decking with a saltwater-ready trailer tailor-made for the hull that sits on it. Become the envy of the flats and terror of the fish in the Pro Skiff 18 Patriot Edition.
