The 2026 Excel 1860 Shallow Water F4 CC is an 18-foot center console built for navigating extreme shallow water, timber, and marsh conditions. Constructed from .125-gauge 5086 aluminum and finished in Mossy Oak Bottomland camouflage throughout the hull, interior, and hardware, the boat is engineered for durability in demanding seasonal environments. The center console layout balances operator protection with an open deck designed to accommodate gear, dogs, and decoys.
Power comes from a Mud Buddy Vanguard Tall EFI engine paired with hydraulic steering for precise control in ultra-skinny water. The boat features a driving leaning post with backrest in café finish, a Tempres café seat with a 13-inch pole, and light oak deck flooring with black border. A 12-gallon fuel tank serves the engine, while a 36-volt trolling motor kit with battery trays provides auxiliary propulsion and control.
The equipment list includes 3/4-inch spud pole brackets for staking in timber, an LED swivel headlight for low-light operation, and a Wet Sounds Bluetooth audio system with two RGB speakers complemented by an advanced RGB light package. An Excel premium aluminum trailer with EZ Trac rollers, Teflon bunks, and a spare wheel is included.
