Excel’s Lineup of High-Performance Hulls

Excel Boats has earned a reputation for building some of the toughest and best-performing aluminum boats on the market. A key factor in this performance is the innovative hull designs that Excel offers. They understand that boaters have diverse needs, from navigating shallow backwaters to tackling rough offshore conditions. That’s why Excel has engineered a range of specialized hulls, each meticulously designed and strenuously tested to deliver optimal performance in its intended environment. When you choose an Excel boat, you’re not just getting a boat; you’re getting a hull built for purpose. Let’s dive into the details of each:

Triple Taper Chine™: Conquer the Shallows

For anglers and outdoorsmen who frequently find themselves in shallow, skinny water, the Triple Taper Chine™ is the perfect choice. This hull features a 0º deadrise and 25″ sides, allowing it to float and maneuver in incredibly shallow conditions. Found on popular models like the SWF4, Pro Hull, Switchblade, and Eclipse, the Triple Taper Chine™ offers superior shallow water performance. Its slick bottom design minimizes friction, allowing the boat to glide effortlessly over shallow areas. Furthermore, the unique chine design provides unparalleled turning capabilities, making it easy to navigate tight creeks and backwater channels.

Viper Hull™: The Versatile Performer

The Viper Hull™ offers a compelling blend of performance and versatility. With a 6º deadrise and 24″ sides, it’s capable of handling a wider range of water conditions than the Triple Taper Chine™. This hull is featured on models like the F4 Viper, Stalker, and Cat Pro. A key feature of the Viper Hull™ is its ability to trap water underneath the boat. This trapped water increases lift and significantly improves load capacity, allowing you to carry more gear and passengers without sacrificing performance. The trapped water also enhances the performance of outboard motors, providing increased speed and efficiency. Finally, the Viper Hull™ turns flat and holds tight, giving you confidence and control in every maneuver.

River Warrior Hull™: Designed for Maneuverability

As the name suggests, the River Warrior Hull™ is built for navigating rivers and other challenging waterways. This hull also has a 6º deadrise but with slightly taller 26″ sides, offering a good balance of stability and maneuverability. Found on the River Warrior Tiller and River Warrior Side Console models, this hull prioritizes exceptional maneuverability. It incorporates reverse chines and strategically placed strakes that contribute to precise handling and rapid response. Whether you’re navigating tight bends or dodging obstacles, the River Warrior Hull™ gives you the control you need.

Exceleration™ Pad Hull: Speed and Efficiency Unleashed

For those who crave speed and efficiency, the Exceleration™ Pad Hull is the answer. With a 14º deadrise and 25″ sides, this hull is engineered to provide the highest degree of performance. Used on models like the Bay Pro Elite, Command 183, and Bolt, the Exceleration™ Pad Hull is designed to break water cleanly away from the running pad, virtually eliminating hydrodynamic drag. This results in significantly increased performance, speed, and handling. If you’re looking to maximize your boat’s speed and efficiency, the Exceleration™ Pad Hull is the perfect choice.

Deep V Hull: Conquer the Deep Water

When the going gets deep, the Deep V Hull is ready to take on the challenge. With an 18º deadrise and 35″ sides, this hull is designed for extended deepwater fishing expeditions. Found on the Stormcat and Buoy 10 models, the Deep V Hull provides a remarkable balance between strength and speed. Its deep V design facilitates effortless wave penetration, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride even in rough conditions. The wide 35″ sides also provide an exceptionally stable platform, giving you the confidence to fish or explore in deep water.
