F4 SHALLOW WATER

The original step deck transom boat.

The hull of the Shallow Water F4 was designed by Excel Boats to obtain optimal performance from a surface-drive motor such as a Mud Buddy. The F4’s slick bottom glides over skinny water, logs, mud, and vegetation with ease and with the least bit of resistance. The tapered chine provides unparalleled turning capabilities. The F4 step-deck allows you to effortlessly climb in-and-out of the boat and serves as a vantage point for your retriever. This innovative step-deck, introduced by Excel’s owner over 18 years ago with the Mud Buddy MR-18 Mallard with hunt deck, started the shallow water boat step-deck revolution and has set the standard for all high-end shallow water duck boats.

Full feature surface drive motors like the Mud Buddy with electric shift F-N-R, tough outdrives, and reliable power allow the Excel to go places others can only imagine. Whether in the deep timber of Arkansas, the beautiful backwaters of the Everglades, mystical swamps of Louisiana, or the shallow vast grass marshes of the West, this is the boat to own.
