Chad Allen- 30 plus years running boats, my opinion is Excel has the best aluminum boat on the market.

My friends have Excel boats and I liked what I saw but I wanted a few extras because I fish. I picked those things I need from your list of fishing accessories and I couldn't be happier. I thank my dealer and the guys at Excel for helping me build my boat.

First of all, the 220 Bay Pro looks just beautiful sitting in the water. I get compliments on it all the time from fisherman who own very expensive boats like Yellowtail and Ranger. It also rides nicely and turns well. Both the front and rear casting decks are quite roomy for me and my guests, as I regularly fish 3 to 4 in the boat all the time. It fishes well in both fresh and salt water. But most of all, the 220 Bay Pro is just a very beautiful boat.
