2023 Excel 1754 Shallow Water F4

The 2023 Excel 1754 Shallow Water F4 is a 17.5-foot aluminum runabout engineered specifically for surface-drive motors like the Mud Buddy. The hull design prioritizes performance in extremely shallow water, with a slick bottom that moves efficiently over skinny conditions, logs, mud, and vegetation. The tapered chine enhances turning response, while the step deck provides easy boarding and a raised platform for a second occupant or retriever.

The F4 hull represents a refinement of shallow water boat design principles, with the integrated step deck offering both practical functionality and improved weight distribution for optimal performance in challenging water conditions.
