Meet the 2026 Excel Boats 1854 Shallow Water F4 in ****—a fresh, no-nonsense fishing rig built for getting into the kinds of places most boats only talk about. It’s made for shallow water and mud-motor territory, but this one’s set up with an **outboard** configuration, giving you a clean, classic approach to sneaking through skinny water and sliding into your next honey hole.

At **18 feet** long (216 in / 5.5 m) with a **69-inch beam** (1.8 m), the 1854 Shallow Water F4 hits that sweet spot: compact enough to feel agile in tight cuts and backwater turns, while still offering a stable footprint when you’re moving around to fish. The **aluminum hull** keeps things purpose-built and ready for the kind of days that start before sunrise and end only when the bite finally slows down.

Bring the crew—this boat is rated for **4 passengers**, with up to **1,100 lbs** (499 kg) of weight capacity to work with, so you can load up your day’s essentials without feeling cramped. Up front at the helm, the **bench seating** keeps things simple and social—because fishing stories are better when everyone can chime in at once. And with an **open-top** helm area, you get the wide-open, wind-in-your-face feel that makes every run across the water part of the fun.

Power-wise, the 1854 Shallow Water F4 is rated for up to **60 hp** (44.8 kW), giving you plenty of potential to hop between spots and make the most of a full day on the water.

If you’re eyeing other looks, this model is also available in OD Green, Buck Brown, Natural Gear Brown, Natural Gear Green, Old School, Optifade Marsh, and Optifade Timber—but there’s something about **** that just feels ready for the next cast.
