2023 Alumaweld Talon 18

The 2023 Alumaweld Talon 18 is an aluminum fishing runabout built for serious performance and practicality. At 18 feet 3 inches with a 7-foot 5-inch beam, the boat features a heavy-duty all-welded aluminum construction with a 0.160-inch bottom and 0.100-inch sidewalls. The 14-degree vee bottom is engineered for smooth handling and a dry ride, supported by chined design, lifting strakes, and sidewall flare that work together to manage wake and spray.

Twin Mercury outboards, each rated at 99.9 horsepower, power the boat and are suited to its prop-motor configuration. The hull can also be specified with an RMV bottom for jet applications if preferred.

Storage is a central feature throughout the boat. Bow and transom compartments, storage-box seating, a glove box, rod racks, and full-length storage trays come standard—a practical layout for anglers and recreational boaters. The combination of rigid construction, thoughtful design details, and abundant storage makes this a versatile platform for fishing or general use.
