This is how it all started with Excel; by building the toughest and simply the best-built duck boat made.Tank-like bracing throughout doesn’t make this boat a lightweight, but it will outlast any other boat made. The step deck (Excel was the 1st to offer this feature) takes the leg-work out of getting in and out of your boat and our exclusive OPTIFADE™ camo will disappear in any timber hole or marsh.Heavy-duty gunwales can take a beating from timber while the optional KIK-UP™ transom’s dual heavy-duty gas shocks help absorb impact subjected to your lower unit in surprise encounters with submerged stumps.
