2018 Excel F4 1854 Shallow Water

This F4 1854 SHALLOW WATER has the kind of layout that makes long days on the water feel easy. The wide, open deck gives you room to move, throw a cast net, or set decoys without stumbling over gear, and the low-profile gunwale keeps you close to the action when you’re working shorelines or timber. The hull’s tough, no-nonsense finish shrugs off brush, stumps, and the occasional bump at the ramp, so you’re not babying it every trip. Storage is smartly placed, keeping weight centered and the deck uncluttered. Paired with that mud motor, it’s a rig built to slide over skinny water, idle through stump fields, and still feel solid and predictable when the chop picks up.

This Excel F4 1854 SHALLOW WATER shines in areas where depth changes fast, bottoms get soft, and access can be tight. The beam and hull design give you a stable casting and shooting platform when you’re working shorelines, grass beds, or winding creeks. When the water drops, the shallow-running hull and mud motor combination let you keep going long after deeper-draft boats have to turn around. The open interior and rugged build make it just as comfortable hauling decoys and dogs as it is loaded with coolers and tackle. For anglers and hunters who split time between backwater sloughs, marshes, and narrow cuts, this model is a practical, go-anywhere workhorse.
