Recreational anglers find those same features favorable for negotiating shallows while fishing protected waters where there is not the need for a traditional vee’d hull to tackle rough water on a regular basis. The skiff category has become popular as interest in in-shore light tackle saltwater fishing has grown. The Pro 17 Skiff CC is one of three skiff configurations Mako offers in 2012, which include a 17 tiller model, a 16 foot center console and an 18 foot Light Tackle version, with a new, shallow-running hull design. ## Test Results | RPM | MPH | Knots | GPH | MPG | NMPG | SM | NM | dBa | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 700 | 2.3 | 2 | 0.2 | 11.5 | 10 | 62 | 54 | 70 | | 1000 | 3.3 | 2.8 | 0.3 | 10.83 | 9.42 | 59 | 51 | 75 | | 1500 | 4.5 | 3.9 | 0.4 | 11.25 | 9.78 | 61 | 53 | 77 | | 2000 | 5.8 | 5 | 0.6 | 9.67 | 8.41 | 52 | 45 | 77 | | 2500 | 6.8 | 5.9 | 1.1 | 6.18 | 5.38 | 33 | 29 | 78 | | 3000 | 9.2 | 8 | 1.6 | 5.72 | 4.97 | 31 | 27 | 79 | | 3500 | 13.6 | 11.8 | 2.3 | 6.04 | 5.26 | 33 | 28 | 85 | | 4000 | 21.3 | 18.5 | 2.5 | 8.67 | 7.54 | 47 | 41 | 85 | | 4500 | 24.4 | 21.2 | 3.2 | 7.75 | 6.74 | 42 | 36 | 87 | | 5000 | 28.1 | 24.4 | 3.9 | 7.3 | 6.35 | 39 | 34 | 87 | | 5500 | 31.3 | 27.2 | 4.9 | 6.45 | 5.61 | 35 | 30 | 88 | | 5800 | 34.9 | 30.3 | 5.1 | 6.91 | 6.01 | 37 | 32 | 88 | [View the test results in metric units](#) ![mako_p17s_chart.jpg](/sites/default/files/images/boat-charts/mako_p17s_chart.jpg) ## Specifications | Length Overall | 17' 4'' / 5.28 m | |---|---| | Beam | 6' 8'' 2.03 m | | Dry Weight | 950 lbs. 430 kg | | Draft | 8'' .20 m | | Deadrise/Transom | 10-deg. | | Max Headroom | open | | Bridge Clearance | N/A | | Fuel Capacity | 6 gal. 22 L | | Water Capacity | none | ## Acceleration Times & Conditions | Time to Plane | 4.0 sec. | |---|---| | 0 to 30 | 6.9 sec.

So rigged, we reached a top speed of 34.9 mph at 5800 rpm burning 5.1 gallons per hour. We found the optimum cruising speed for the rig to be 21.3 mph, turning 4000 rpm while consuming 8.67 miles per gallon, giving the boat a cruising range of 47 miles with the standard 6 gallon fuel tank. ### Construction Features Mako’s Advanced Inverted V (AIV) hull design, wide beam and foam-filled construction allows for a smooth, dry ride and stable platform through rougher conditions. The boat is built with 100% composite materials and despite weighing only 950 lbs. the hull has a 1400 lb. load capacity and is rated to carry up to five passengers. ![Mako 17 Skiff](/sites/default/files/inline-images/mako_pro17skiffcc_bow.jpg) We like the broad, clutter-free bow casting deck, with nothing to trip on or snag a fly line while fishing. ![Mako 17 Skiff](/sites/default/files/inline-images/mako_pro17skiffcc_helm.jpg) The Pro 17 Skiff center console configuration offers better visibility and more fishing features than tiller-controlled models, while surrendering the open deck space that many skiff fanciers favor. For those traditionalists, Mako offers a tiller-operated version of the 17 footer. Mako makes the most of the Pro 17 Skiff CC model’s one-piece molded center console. Anglers find vertical rod racks, a storage compartment below and trays up top. The minimalist dash features a tachometer standard with space for the optional Lowrance Mark-5x Pro fish finder. No additional electronics or gauges are offered; we’d like to see a simple compass available as an option. ![Mako 17 Skiff](/sites/default/files/inline-images/mako_pro17skiffcc_controls.jpg) Check out the breakered rocker switch controls and the location of the skiff’s running lights. ![Mako 17 Skiff](/sites/default/files/inline-images/mako_pro17skiffcc_console.jpg) At the front of the helm console is a seat hiding an eight-gallon aerated livewell fed by a 500 gph pump. Note the grab rails molded into the seat base. ![Mako 17 Skiff](/sites/default/files/inline-images/mako_pro17skiffcc_cooler.jpg) Aft of the helm is a cushioned 85-quart roto-molded, foam-filled portable cooler that serves as a seat. The cockpit that surrounds it averages 18'' in depth from coaming to sole. ![Mako 17 Skiff](/sites/default/files/inline-images/mako_pro17skiffcc_engine.jpg) The stern casting deck is large for a 17 foot boat and kept clutter-free. The deck-plate in the small splashwell allows access to the standard 1000 gph bilge pump. ![Mako 17 Skiff](/sites/default/files/inline-images/mako_pro17skiffcc_swimplatform.jpg) A single step and stainless steel handrail help swimmers get back aboard the low-profile skiff’s 20''-high transom. Note the deep diamond-pattern non-skid surface molded into the aft deck, which is carried forward to the bow deck as well. ![Mako 17 Skiff](/sites/default/files/inline-images/mako_pro17skiffcc_aerial.jpg) Mako fits a lot of fishing-friendly features within the skiff’s 204'' length and 80'' beam. The standard 6 gallon fuel tank is secured under the aft deck to starboard; a second, optional 6 gallon tank can be similarly positioned to port. ![Mako 17 Skiff](/sites/default/files/inline-images/mako_pro17skiffcc_trailer.jpg) The Pro 17 Skiff CC comes with a saltwater-ready, all-welded aluminum trailer with 13-inch wheels fitted with vault oil bath hubs on a galvanized axle. Rigged with a 30-hp Mercury ELPT Four-Stroke outboard and trailer the standard rig sells for $14,580 including prep and freight. Packages are offered with 40-, 50- and 60-hp outboards as well. ### Mako Assurance Warranty Program Mako says its warranty includes-- • Limited Lifetime Structural Hull Warranty• 5-Year "Stem-to-Stern" Coverage Warranty• 3-Year Gelcoat Coverage Warranty• Transferrable to a second owner### Recommendation Any angler looking for a bargain-priced, shallow-running fishing boat capable of taking a couple of family members or fishing buddies along for a day of sight casting and exploring fresh or salt waters where traditional-vee hull craft simply can't go, should consider the new Mako Pro 17 Skiff. We like this rig a lot and believe that plenty of near-shore light tackle anglers will too. ezstandalone.cmd.push(function() { ezstandalone.showAds(104); }); - [Price Quote](/user/login?destination=/markdownify/node/83834) - [Schedule a Test Drive](/user/login?destination=/markdownify/node/83834) - [Connect](/user/login?destination=/markdownify/node/83834) - [Compare to other boats](/boats/compare/83834) --- ## Related Boats [ Review with Captain's Report ![](/sites/default/files/styles/500x375_max/public/Mako184CC.jpg?itok=biYBGsz7) ](/boats/mako/184-cc-2014) [Bay/Flats Boats](/boats/bayflats-boats) ### [Mako 184 CC (2014-)](/boats/mako/184-cc-2014) Currenly no test numbers [ Report with Video Review with Captain's Report ![](/sites/default/files/styles/500x375_max/public/Mako18LTS.jpg?itok=guvTZUTc) ](/boats/mako/18-lts-2014) [Bay/Flats Boats](/boats/bayflats-boats) ### [Mako 18 LTS (2014-)](/boats/mako/18-lts-2014) Currently no test numbers [ Report with Video Review with Captain's Report ![](/sites/default/files/styles/500x375_max/public/mako19CPX2015.jpg?itok=R_fiZfa2) ](/boats/mako/19-cpx-2015) [Bay/Flats Boats](/boats/bayflats-boats) ### [Mako 19 CPX (2015-)](/boats/mako/19-cpx-2015) 1 x 150-hp Mercury 4-stroke [ Report with Video Review with Captain's Report ![](/sites/default/files/styles/500x375_max/public/Mako1901Inshore_2007.jpg?itok=DXAT1AIQ) ](/boats/mako/1901-inshore-2007-not-production) [Center Consoles](/boats/center-consoles) ### [Mako 1901 Inshore (2007-) (Not in Production)](/boats/mako/1901-inshore-2007-not-production) Currently no test numbers Mako Bay/Flats Boats, Center Consoles,
