2026 Excel 203 Bay Pro Elite

The 2026 Excel 203 Bay Pro Elite is an 18-foot aluminum center console built for both family outings and serious fishing. Its .160-inch hull is among the thickest in the aluminum bay boat class, featuring a fully welded 14-degree pad design with lifting strakes and reverse chine for stability in varied water conditions. Powered by a single 150 hp Yamaha engine, it carries a 30-gallon fuel tank and has a maximum capacity of 1,025 pounds when fully loaded. The beam spans 7.67 feet across a 94-inch width with a 68-inch bottom.

The layout prioritizes working space and comfort. Twin Tempress fishing seats, a leaning post with cushion and footrest, and two rear folding jumpseats with storage handle the seating. A 16-gallon livewell with cushioned seat sits in the fiberglass console, while the front and rear decks offer generous room to move and fish. Two built-in lockable rod boxes, six rod holders, console-mounted tackle storage, and an integrated trolling motor bracket support an active fishing lifestyle.

Standard features include navigation lights, a 12V electrical panel with trolling motor harness, an 800 GPH bilge pump, speedometer, tachometer, and fuel gauge. The console includes a tinted removable windshield, a fishfinder mounting shelf, and a front access door with storage. Deck protection comes from Superliner durable coating and a rubber rub rail with accessory slots. Four nylon mooring cleats and a 45-degree transom splash pan complete the package.
