Searing performance, superior stability, and an extra shallow draft define the MAKO 18 LTS. This premium light tackle skiff delivers shallow-water stealth through an advanced hull design that's loaded with lightweight flotation foam that insulates sounds. The wide beam delivers stability for poling, slinging flies, and weaving across water inches deep. The Rapid Planing System™ transom delivers an extra boost for the rear end, letting you pop up in shallow water easier than ever.
After the first morning run, the 18 LTS fishes like a dream. Excellent edge-to-edge stability is punctuated by a rock-solid feel from bow to stern. Six vertical rod holders keep your sticks at the ready, with more stashed underneath the front deck. Trim tab provisions and an optional poling platform make the 18LTS the ultimate inshore threat. Rounding out this package is a custom-built trailer that's fitted for the hull that rides on it. Each is fully galvanized for the ultimate in corrosion resistance and features a swing-away tongue that expands storage options. The MAKO 18 LTS delivers peak inshore performance for water that's inches deep or miles from shore.
