Research 2010 - Maverick Boats - Mirage 18 HPX-V

Designed for the angler who likes to throw the cast net almost as much as the fly rod, the new Mirage 18 HPX is the most versatile technical poling skiff ever developed. Whether pushing into a stiff breeze chasing tailing permit, poling in an afternoon chop looking for migrating tarpon or chumming backcountry potholes with a livewell full of whitebait, this boat solidly delivers. Stable yet responsive on the pole, the 18 HPX has the range and speed of larger engine packages without sacrificing draft. No compromises. No limits.
