The 2026 Excel 1754 Shallow Water F4 Legacy combines rugged construction, advanced hull design, and powerful shallow-water capability to deliver one of the most versatile aluminum boats in its class. Designed for fishermen, waterfowl hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts who demand performance where conventional hulls can't go, this boat stands ready for creek runs, bayou exploration, and skinny-water adventures alike.

At the core of this vessel is Excel's Shallow Water F4 hull, engineered to perform exceptionally with surface-drive motors. The slick, flat bottom and tapered chine allow the boat to glide through skinny water, mud, vegetation, and snags with minimal resistance, making it ideal for shallow rivers, marshes, and backwater fishing grounds. Its innovative step-deck transom design not only enhances shallow-water trim control and planing performance but also provides a convenient platform for boarding or handling gear on the water.

The included Mud Buddy HDR 5400 TEFI motor gives you reliable power and surface-drive efficiency that's tough enough for heavy cover and low-depth conditions. This setup is perfect for pushing through lily pads, flooded timber, or other shallow-water obstacles that challenge traditional boats.

Built with durable aluminum and a thoughtfully arranged deck, the 1754 Legacy offers plenty of open space for gear, tackle, and passengers, while strategic storage areas and accessory mounting points keep equipment organized and accessible. With rugged gunwale trays, reinforced step deck, navigation lighting, and optional extras like livewells and spud poles, this boat can be customized for your specific outdoor pursuits.

At roughly 17' in length, the Excel 1754 strikes a balance between nimble maneuverability and usable deck room, making it easy to trail, launch, and handle on the water. Whether you're chasing fish on the flats, pushing through flooded marshland with your retriever, or exploring remote waterways, this shallow-water thoroughbred delivers performance, durability, and real-world utility that serious outdoorsmen appreciate.
