2026 Excel Boats Shallow Water F4 Pro Console 1860

The 2026 Excel Boats Shallow Water F4 Pro Console 1860 is an 18-foot aluminum center console built for shallow water work and fishing. The hull uses .125-inch 5086-grade hardened aluminum with a crash-resistant bull nose bow, full flat floor, and triple taper chine design. A 17-degree transom provides optimal trim control, and full-length longitudinal ribs in 6063 alloy aluminum reinforce the welded and riveted floor. The boat accommodates outboard motors up to 90 horsepower or is ideal for mud motors.

Standard equipment includes a streamlined aluminum center console with windshield and grab rail, a Tempress helm seat, and a full-length control panel. The high front deck features a 27-gallon livewell and storage, while twin front side storage boxes offer additional capacity. A 12-gallon rear fuel tank, 800 GPH bilge pump, navigation lights, and full flotation round out the core package.

The design prioritizes function in marshes and shallow waters. Extruded gunwales with rubber rub rail and slotted interiors allow accessory mounting, and bow rails provide safety. Options range from camo finishes and LED lighting to hydraulic steering, trolling motor mounts, driving leaning posts with rod holders, and upgraded fuel tank capacity.
