This shallow water F4 hull was designed to obtain optimal performance from a surface-drive motor such as a Mud Buddy. The F4’s slick bottom glides over skinny water, logs, mud and vegetation with ease and with the least bit of resistance. The tapered chine provides unparalleled turning capabilities.

The F4 step-deck allows you to effortlessly climb in-and-out of the boat and serves as a vantage point for your retriever. This innovative step deck introduced by Excel’s owner over 18 years ago with the Mud Buddy MR-18 Mallard with hunt deck, started the shallow water boat step deck revolution and has set the standard for all high-end shallow water duck boats.
The F4 is designed to excel in shallow, often challenging conditions. Its unique Shallow Water hull design allows it to glide over logs, mud, and vegetation with ease, making it ideal for navigating tough terrain. This is especially important for duck hunters who often need to access remote, shallow areas.
The F4’s signature step deck design offers several advantages. It provides a stable platform for hunters to stand on, improving visibility and shot placement. Additionally, the step deck makes it easier to get in and out of the boat, especially when wearing waders. This feature is particularly valuable for hunters who spend long hours on the water.
