Guys I'm looking to purchase one that's chasing a 1751 excel f4. Who's got one, rode in one, knows someone that has one, anything. I know everyone has different opinions but I'm looking for some input on how y'all liked it and how it performed in the mud and also carrying a load. Anything is appreciated.

Most everybody here will tell you to get one with reverse. As for my opinion, the black death is a good motor, as for the excel. Just go custom, you will come out cheaper and much happier. Those excels are not built well and heavy and slow. Where u located. |

It trips me out when people say the Excels weren't built good. Yes they messed up offering a .100 gauge hull but if they weren't built good, bracing wise, why would Gator-Tail end up using the same for the stringers on their boats? I had a 1751 Excel F4 with upgrade to 5086 .125 hull with a PVT MB 35. Solo I was 32-33. Loaded I was 30. I liked my rig but what you see is what you get. There's no custom touch to them. |

Yes the upgrade is better and stringers are just pieces of metal. But are excels one piece hulls... And when you factor in price, why not get exactly what u want. If the op really wants a boat there is an excel on the classifieds here. I don't mean they are junk, i have a couple guys i know run them. Hell i think they are one of the best looking boats but I'd rather beable to design my own rig, to my needs. |

Good on the one piece! I honestly forgot that info. There is a weld that runs right down the middle of the hull. And I wasn't contradicting you. Just stating some facts. They're heavy because they have storage already built into them. You load any boat full of boxes and they'll weigh the same. I agree on going with someone who will build a rig to your specs. |

Yeah the foam they add doesn't help either, but it'll float. I agree with you sir. |
