Bay Boat

Bay Pro Elite 230

Wide, deep, tough and fast.

Excel has bragging rights to this smooth-running and fast Bay Pro Elite 230. This boat is an elite bay boat platform with features and options professional multi-species fishermen have been asking for. We built this hull from 0.160 aluminum, unheard of for bay boats that normally have 0.125 hulls. To move this large boat, we built it on a 14-degree pad hull that lifts the boat, provides a dry ride, and allows the boat to reach higher-than-normal speeds.

The Only .160 Thick Aluminum Hull
Bay Boat

The Bay Pro’s Exceleration™ Pad Hull is engineered to provide the highest degree of performance, stability, handling and seaworthiness. Meticulous detail differentiates the Excel Bay Pro from others.

The Bay Pro pad lift hull with its many contours is the only .160 thick hull in the industry – making our boats the toughest. Simply said, the pad hull gets on step quickly and once running, the boat rides on the center low-friction flat surface for exceptional speed, while the outside reverse chines trap water for a dry ride and superb handling. A bay boat never felt so good.

Wide Body Console

Our all new console has everything and it is where it should be. The dash will accommodate up to a 12″ fish finder/nav unit. The dash has room for a 3″ bluetooth radio, has extra accessory switches, and the new compact gauge set is arranged perfectly.

You will love our new recessed toe kick that makes it easier to sit behind and move around the console, and the built-in live well with seat cushion and built-in tackle center. This console has room under the dash for up to three large 12V group 27 deep cycle trolling motor batteries.

Extra Large Livewell in Console

We planned this boat right – the console has a 16 gallon livewell under the padded console seat cushion. It is located for easy access and is just the right size for a livewell, extra storage or can be used as secondary cooler.

The Only .160 Thick Aluminum Hull

Bay Boat

We build the Bay Pro hull with optional 0.160 aluminum, unheard of for bay boats that normally have 0.125 hulls. To move this large boat, we built it on a 14 degree pad hull that lifts the boat, provides a dry ride and allows the boat to reach higher than normal speeds for a 22 foot boat varying from 200 to 250 HP. The Bay Pro Elite is so well built that many think it is fiberglass when they look down the sides of the hull.

The Gloss Clear Finish used on all our Bay and Bass boats adds reflection & brilliance to Excel’s existing paint colors. Not only does it look good, the Glass Clear finish delivers a premium appearance by adding depth of color, excellent durability, chemical resistance, and a long-lasting shine.
