The all-new 18 Pro Skiff Patriot edition takes the proven shallow water performance of the 18 Pro Skiff 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 Edition 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 18 Pro Skiff Patriot Edition.
