Skater took the very successful 308 and made it even better. With a 10” wider tunnel and flat-deck/wrap-around windshield configuration, the 318 brings an entirely new level of comfort and looks to the 308 hull it is based on. With a wide cockpit for seating of up to 6, this outboard-only model gives up very little to the larger inboard models. The aerodynamic front deck with up to 3 molded-in hatches and a rear deck with 1 large molded-in hatch, storage is abundant in this model. With Mercury Racing’s 400Rs on the transom, cruising all day at 100mph in comfort is easy. The 318 has it all in an outboard powered package – speed, agility, rough water capability and comfort.
