2025 Excel 1651 River Warrior

The 2025 Excel 1651 River Warrior is a 16-foot aluminum runabout built for serious river and marsh work. Powered by a Mercury 50 EFI 4-stroke with advanced tiller, the boat features heavy-duty gunwales designed to withstand impacts from timber and debris. The optional KIK-UP transom with dual gas shocks provides shock absorption for the lower unit when encountering submerged obstacles. Internal bracing is substantial throughout, prioritizing durability over weight savings.

The boat's layout includes a main floor with dual seat bases, a rear deck seat base, and two Tempress seats. An aerated livewell sits in the bow for live bait management. The step deck design simplifies boarding and exit. The 6-gallon fuel tank provides adequate capacity for extended outings on smaller waterways.

Standard finishes include flat khaki paint on both interior and exterior, with the option for Excel's OPTIFADE camouflage pattern. A Diamond City steel bunk trailer with spare tire, motor tote, and tie-downs is included for transport and storage.
