2023 Mako 18 LTS

The MAKO® 18 LTS is a favorite among ardent inshore anglers who want a fast, shallow-drafting boat that’s equally at home in the flats or the bay. 100% composite construction and our exclusive RAPID PLANING SYSTEM™ mean it’s a rugged but nimble fishing machine that jumps onto plane and gives a smooth, dry ride.
