Shallow Water Triple Taper Chine

Excel shallow water boats with the triple taper chine roll into turns with limited slip. These hulls plane quickly, turn on a dime and are specifically designed for shallow water surface drive mud motors.

It is one of our toughest and lightest boat packages designed to run very shallow water, and particulary the extreme backwater marshes and timber of Arkansas. As you can imagine, it works well in all parts of the country.

Triple Taper Chine

Camo Seat Option

This Optifade camo seat cover option is a great add to your boat. The seats come in both Optifade Marsh and Timber patterns. As most customers know, Optifade is exclusive to Excel and Mud Buddy and Sitka clothing gear products. The seats are a perfect addition to your Sitka clothing and Excel/MudBuddy boat.

LED Headlight Option

The twin LED 5800 lumen headlight guides you through the darkest marshes or timber. The lights can be adjusted upwards or downwards as needed for your boat design, and the lights rotate around for backing the boat. Turn the light to the side to put out your decoys.

The headlight switch is located on the driver control panel.

Water Resistant Storage Option

All our water resistant storage and gun boxes have a raised lip that fits into the box lid. This feature prevents normal rainfall and water splashes from getting into the sealed box below. However, be careful at car washes where high pressure spray can seep up and over the water resistant seal.

The Eclipse gun box is a bolt in 60″ option.

Built-In Fuel Tank Option

The twin LED 5800 lumen headlight guides you through the darkest marshes or timber. The lights can be adjusted upwards or downwards as needed for your boat design, and the lights rotate around for backing the boat. Turn the light to the side to put out your decoys.

The headlight switch is located on the driver control panel.

Storage Trays

The Eclipse has two full length storage side trays with cup holders, that are perfect for gun, bow, rod, spin wings, tackle, keys, shells, etc.

Control Panel

Our recessed panel prevents accidental switch bumps. The convenient control panel has water-resistant switches, automatic circuit breakers, and two interior lights. Twin interior lights – one white and one amber (hunting use), 12 V plug, navigation lights, anchor light, bilge pump, two accessory options for interior LEDs and bow LEDs.

Excitement within Reach

The Eclipse Jet redefines “bang for your buck,” offering unmatched versatility and capability without emptying your wallet. It’s the perfect entry point for new boaters or a savvy upgrade for seasoned adventurers.

Versatility Redefined

Up front, the redesigned square bow cap – the ‘shovel head’ – opens a whole new range of possibilities. This classic design isn’t just about looks; it provides a stable platform for casting lines or storing decoys. Move to the stern, and the impressive 25-inch transom is perfectly matched for a jet motor.

This powerhouse combination delivers exceptional maneuverability, allowing you to navigate narrow channels, stalk hidden fishing spots, and dominate any water condition with precision control. The Eclipse Jet isn’t just a boat; it’s an adaptable companion, ready to conquer any adventure you throw its way.

 

THE Jet Drive Advantage

Unlike traditional prop-driven boats, the Eclipse Jet offers a clear advantage on the water:

Unmatched Maneuverability: Forget the limitations of a propeller. The jet drive allows for effortless turning and precise control in tight spaces. Navigate narrow channels, negotiate tricky currents, and dock with confidence – the Eclipse Jet dances where other boats struggle.

Shallow Water Domination: Say goodbye to prop anxiety. The jet drive eliminates the risk of prop strike, allowing you to explore hidden coves, stalk fish in skinny water, and conquer shallow areas inaccessible to prop boats.

Worry-Free Operation: No prop, no problem. The jet drive’s internal system minimizes the risk of underwater hazards damaging your motor. Focus on the adventure, not potential repairs.

Superior Efficiency: Modern jet drives deliver impressive fuel efficiency, keeping you exploring longer on a single tank.
