2026 Excel 183 Tomahawk

The 2026 Excel 183 Tomahawk is a purpose-built, high-performance aluminum boat designed for anglers, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts who demand durability, versatility, and strong performance in a compact, easy-to-handle package. Built on Excel's proven pad hull platform, the Tomahawk's design emphasizes quick planning, stability in a variety of water conditions, and unmatched utility for work or play.

At 18'3" in length with a rugged 14-degree pad hull, the Tomahawk delivers a ride that's both responsive and stable - giving you quick hole shots, confident high-end speed, and superb control whether you're on big water or shallow flats. The hull's low-friction center and reverse chines not only help trap water for a dry ride but also make the boat highly efficient and capable of handling gear-laden trips.

Built from .125" thick welded aluminum (with optional .160" upgrade), this model is engineered to withstand tough use. Its open, uncluttered layout provides ample deck space for casting, hunting, or gear stowage, while features like dual gunboxes, watertight storage lids, integrated trolling motor bracket, spud pole brackets, and transom boarding steps make organization and operation a breeze for both fishing and outdoor work.

Powered by a 90 hp outboard, the Tomahawk delivers reliable and efficient propulsion with enough muscle for towing, cruising, or pushing into wind and current. Standard marine features including navigation lights, a 1200 GPH auto bilge pump, battery disconnect, and extruded gunwale with rubber rub rail enhance both safety and convenience on the water.

With a spacious front deck designed as a true work platform, the 183 Tomahawk gives anglers and hunters room to spread out, track fish, or throw decoys without feeling cramped. Its open interior and thoughtful storage layout let you haul gear, ice, coolers, dogs, or tackle with minimal compromise to comfort.

Whether you're chasing fish at first light, navigating shallow marshes, or simply enjoying a day outdoors with friends and family, the 2026 Excel 183 Tomahawk stands out as a rugged, adaptable, and well-rounded vessel ready for whatever your adventure demands.

Designed for all uses, the Excel performance 14 degree pad hull, found on our bay and bass boats, makes the Tomahawk one of the best performing tillers on the market.
