See full version: Pro Skiff 17 CC
The 100%-composite MAKO® Pro Skiff 17 CC is our most popular model because it packs in a massive amount of fishability into a nimble, right-sized package. The patented Advanced Inverted V (AIV) hull design provides a quick holeshot, smooth, dry ride and nimble handling and maneuverability. It’s ideal for all types of inshore fishing, and it’s nearly 3/4-ton capacity makes it one of the hardest working boats in its class.
The deck and foam-filled hull are mechanically and chemically bonded to become one unitized structure with superior flotation and quiet operation. And it comes standard with a hot-dipped galvanized trailer, a Mercury® outboard and our superior MAKO Assurance 5+Life warranty.

When an angler is not fishing, it only makes logical sense that he is busy daydreaming about fishing right? It only makes sense as it is not just merely an outdoor activity, but almost a way of life. Mako boats have both offshore and inshore fishing boats. Protect your prized possession with a Mako boat cover from iboats.com. We boast of having more options than anywhere else. We have covers that fit T-tops, poling platforms, center console boats, and more. You can get either a custom or semi-custom option with lots of fabrics to choose from. We have the strong and well-known fabric Sunbrella and other strong polyester materials which can allow you to possibly trailer your boat. If you moor your boat, no problem. We offer options for that as well. Our manufacturers have industry best warranties and our customer service team is always willing to help. Use our handy cover finder to find the right Mako boat cover for you.
Mako started in 1966 building a 19-foot bay boat that it believes changed sportfishing vessels forever. The group decided to take it to the Miami Boat Show in 1967 and it was a huge hit. 400 orders were taken for the vessel which is almost unheard of for one model. Robert Schwebke was the founder of the company and he saw a need for an offshore fishing boat for the common man. At the time, most of these vessels were the heavy-duty watercrafts. One day he was fishing with a friend and a mako shark was caught and put in the well. That sea creature was so powerful it jumped out of the well and sank its teeth into the deck and other items on the boat. It eventually jumped its way back to the water and swam away. Schwebke knew what he would call his company after recalling that story. Now that is what Mako prides itself on is building a boat that is stronger than it needs to be and can hold up to rough waters. Tracker Marine Group (now White River Marine Group) took over ownership in the 1990s and so it allows owners to join a vast network to boating.
The deck and foam-filled hull are mechanically and chemically bonded to become one unitized structure with superior flotation and quiet operation. And at 17' 4" (5.3 m) long with an 80" (2m) beam, it's incredibly spacious and stable.
Smooth and stable, agile and able. This is the skiff that everyone is talking about. more
