palmetto1 Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 My 18MA is at the shop having a few cosmetic and punch list items completed before I list it for sale. Below is a long write up about all I have done to in terms of improvements and maintenance. I will have more pics to add soon once they finish detailing her. Hate to see her go but just finished building a smaller skiff. Boat is currently in Charleston, SC. I live in the upstate of SC and will be bringing it back up here after the work is complete. 2000 Maverick 18.5 Master Angler 2000 Yamaha 150Vmax (EFI) Classic skiff, great soft ride, with everything you need and ready to fish! I’ve made a lot of improvements over the last few years. I flush the motor and wash the boat every time I use it. This is a super versatile boat – I’ve fished 8-10 miles off the beach on a nice day for cobia and then shallow water for redfish the same day. To my knowledge everything works as thats the way I always keep my boats. I will do my best to describe it to you as accurately as I can, send you pics, etc if you are a serious buyer. Asking $20,499. I can be reached at 864-four three zero - 7747. Best to text me first to coordinate a time to chat. 80Lb I-pilot Minn Kota Simrad Go9 Power Pole with backing plate and remote Stiffy Hybrid Push Pole. 6 vertical rod holders on the console, 2 in poling platform, 2 in the front deck, 3 under gunnel plus a rod locker Large center livewell in the rear plus another live or release well port side, which can also function as a storage compartment.

Upgrades/Maintenance November 2020 - Some cosmetic repairs and maintenance, will update this list once complete.
