2026 Excel Boats Viper F4 1751

The 2026 Excel Boats Viper F4 1751 is a 17-foot bay boat built around a Viper hull with reverse chine and a full V-floor. The construction features tank-like longitudinal ribs in 6063 aluminum alloy with hull thickness of .100 or .125 inch, designed for durability in shallow-water conditions. The boat accepts outboard motors from Yamaha, Mercury, Suzuki, Evinrude, or Honda in the 50–75 maximum horsepower range. The 17-degree high transom pairs with an F4 step deck that simplifies boarding, and an optional KIK-UP transom with dual heavy-duty gas shocks can help protect the lower unit from impact with submerged obstacles.

The 1751 includes practical storage throughout: rod and gun storage on the port side, starboard gunwale trays with cup holders, slide-in storage under the driver's seat, rear deck storage boxes, and a battery box. The rear deck features Excel's improved pod (E.I.P) seats and a seat base, while the high front deck includes its own seat base and optional storage with a mesh panel. The boat is furnished with bow rails and an extruded gunwale with rubber rub rail and slotted interior for mounting accessories.

Standard equipment includes full flotation, navigation lights, an 800 GPH bilge pump, and a recessed light control panel with courtesy light, 12-volt plug, rocker switches, and breakers. The boat is available in OPTIFADE camouflage finish.
