Research Maverick 185 Master Angler Center Console Boat

~The 18'5" Master Angler is not your everyday, entry level skiff. It is the culmination of two decades of hull refinement with focused fishing features and breathtakingly awesome performance. The 18'5" Master Angler has an improved hull design and features like recessed trim tabs, a new enormous livewell and rod locker design. Plus it has more storage, range, speed and drier performance than any of the earlier Maverick 18's.
