2024 Excel Boats Eclipse 17' Base

2024 Excel Boats Eclipse 17'

The Eclipse marks the return of an Excel classic. This shallow water design is simple, sleek, versatile (can be run with a Mud Buddy or outboard) and is a tremendous VALUE. The Eclipse is designed and assembled by employees of our Mountain View facility for hunters and fishermen. It was unveiled on the day of the fall eclipse and named as such.

Features may include:

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.
