    Default Excel 1860 Side Console

    Anyone around the state got one with a 90 or 115 on it? I'm interested in one of these set ups. Wanted to know some pros and cons from a owner if possible.

    How about anyone with a outboard excel? Looking for info on load handling capabilities, mph, rough water handling etc.

    I have a friend with the 1751 f4 with Yamaha f60 and he loves it. Its a very smooth riding boat but not a speed demon. Runs about 38-40. But putting a load in the boat doesn't phase it. It does pretty well in rougher water

    He loves it but its used more of a seat anchored in the river for drinking some cold ones and dangling your legs in the water

    Also they are very easy to get off a stump with the smooth bottom
