Mako Pro 17 Skiff: All the amazing info you need to know about the fishing boat

You wouldn’t just want to hop on any kind of boat if you want to go for a fishing voyage either alone or with a few friends because fishing comes with a handful of fun.

So it will be awkward to feel uncomfortable while fishing because of the kind of boat you are on, which is why we want to introduce you to arguably the best fishing boat ever made.

The Mako Pro 17 skiff is our most famous model because it has more than a handful of packs in disability features despite its size. The patented Advanced Inverted V (AIV) hull design provides a fast holeshot, smooth, dry ride, and flexible handling and maneuverability.

The Mako Pro 17 skiff is suitable for any kind of coastal fishing, and its nearly 3/4-ton capacity makes it one of the best boats in its class.

In addition, the deck and foam-filled hull are mechanically and chemically welded to become one inseparable and solid structure with outstanding flotation and quiet operation while fishing. It also comes with a solid hot-dipped galvanized trailer, a Mercury® outboard, and our MAKO’s Assurance 5+Life guarantee.
