2025 Excel 1751 Viper F4

The 2025 Excel 1751 Viper F4 is a 17-foot aluminum runabout built for serious work in timber and shallow water. It features a reinforced .125-gauge hull with heavy-duty gunwhales designed to withstand impacts from logs and stumps. The optional KIK-UP transom incorporates dual gas shocks to absorb shock loads when the lower unit encounters submerged obstacles. A step deck simplifies boarding and exiting.

This model comes equipped with a Suzuki DF60 tiller outboard and an aerated livewell on the port side. Factory options include OPTIFADE timber camouflage, spud poles with bracket, pre-wiring for a trolling motor, and a cup holder with shell holder. A fish chair is fitted, and the boat rides on a Magic Tilt aluminum trailer.

The construction emphasizes durability throughout, with tank-like internal bracing designed for longevity in demanding conditions. The rigid structure and reinforced framing make this boat a capable platform for serious fishing and hunting work in shallow, timber-laden waters.
