Fiberglass/Reinforced
The MAKO Pro Skiff 17 CC is our most popular skinny water skiff because it packs so much versatility, value, and performance into a sensibly-sized yet capable package. The hull design is our famous Advanced Inverted V (AIV) that delivers smooth, dry performance while soaking up chop and swells. Unbeatable edge-to-edge stability mean you'll have a solid platform to fish and play from, even with a full crew.
The Pro Skiff 17 CC is a hardcore fishing machine with refined manners for all-day comfort. Five rod holders, a bow anchor stow, huge lockable in-deck storage box, and twin baitwell/livewells let you carry everything you need for a day of casting or cruising. An optional rugged trolling motor and fishfinding electronics lead the way to the day's catch, while the standard FourStroke Mercury® outboard delivers reliable power in all conditions. Rounding out this capable inshore performer is a saltwater-ready trailer that's tailor-made for this hull that delivers safe and solid on-road performance mile after mile.
