2026 Xpress Bayou 180CC

The Xpress Bayou 180CC is an 18-foot aluminum runabout built for shallow-water and backwater operation. Its all-welded aluminum hull is engineered to withstand the demands of marsh and timber navigation, with a shallow draft that allows access to areas unreachable by conventional boats. The boat is purpose-built around the Gatortail motor package, with twin 40 hp engines providing the power needed for these challenging conditions.

The deck layout prioritizes functionality with ample floor space and welded-in gun boxes for storage of decoys, gear, and equipment. The stable platform design supports crew and load while maintaining the structural integrity required for operation in shallow, obstacle-filled water. The open cockpit arrangement keeps the focus on utility and accessibility rather than enclosed accommodations.
