Tried & True
The Excelleration™ Pad Hull originally designed for the industry leading Bay Pro, is engineered to provide the highest degree of performance, stability, handling and seaworthiness. Meticulous detail differentiates this hull all from others.
The 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.
