John Crews You Tube Basic Bass Boat Driving Tips



 

Tournament Ready


catfish boat

 


The 14 degree Bass EX 200 pad hull with lifting strakes and reverse chine gets on step quickly, rides smoothly and locks solidly into tight turns. With 22" sides and our extra wide deck, this is tournament quality for sure...

 

 

 



Key Feature - New Pad Hull and Wide Front Deck

 

When we say our Excel boats have all the right features, in all the right places, we mean it. In addition to the lockable rod lockers, dry storage, and insulated step cooler, the exceptionally wide foredeck of the EX200 comes equipped with an integrated bow shroud that houses a recessed foot pedal and a cup/tool holder.

The bow shroud has a place for flush-mount electronics with the option to accommodate larger screen graphs with our optional mounts. The bow shroud also has a plug for the trolling motor and switches for navigation lights and main motor trim. The bow cap has an integrated trolling motor mount built into the boat. And to top it off, we have incorporated two 2" conduits that run from the console to the bow cap for wiring, network cables, and NEMA 2000 systems.

Advanced Ergonomic Console(s)

 

The EX200 may be ordered with a single or dual console. The EX200 console incorporates market-leading ergonomic design. The driver’s console features the following gauges: speedometer, tachometer, trim, water pressure, and fuel.

This console comes with standard hydraulic steering with a tilt helm (with the options of single & dual paddle trims – engine & hydraulic jack plate), switch & reset breaker panels, and room for up to 10” flush-mount electronics.

The driver’s custom bucket seat is adjustable and the motor controls are recessed for maximum comfort. The driver’s console also comes standard with an adjustable footrest equipped with a Syntec Reflex foam pad with a laser etched EX200 logo. The optional passenger console comes equipped with a watertight and lockable glove box. Both consoles come equipped with a tinted sport windshield, USB, and 12V plugs. Two cup-holders & a tool holder is placed conveniently in between both consoles and easily accessible from the driver & passenger seats.

 

Unequaled Fit and Finish

 

The meticulous attention to detail on the EX200 is on par with the high standard on every Excel boat. Quality high gloss finish paint, the use of only the finest components, exceptional and precise panels, lids, consoles, and seating are the standard on the EX200. We shine on the water, in your driveway, and on the road. 

Lots of Dry Storage and Rod Storage

 

The rear deck on the EX200 comes equipped with abundant storage that meets the needs of the weekend warrior as well as seasoned tournament fishermen. The white fiberglass storage boxes are designed with convenience in mind with rounded corners that are easy to clean.

 

In addition to a roomy dry storage starboard side box we have two huge lockable rod boxes. The center box holds 10 each, 8 foot rods, and the port side box holds 6 each, 7.5 foot rods. The The deck lids have compression gasket lids that help keep water out, and they are lockable to your gear safe.

The storage boxes are weather-tight due to an innovative seal created between the storage area and the lid. As the lid lock compresses it becomes watertight. A large 22-gallon fiberglass live-well is finished with an aluminum splash guard and is divided into two separate compartments by a 0.500” thick polymer divider. The live-well is topped off with two locking lids that open aft. The live-well system is equipped with a high-speed pick-up, timer, aerator, and recirculation pump.

Tilt Steering and Paddle Shifter/Trim

 

A popular addition to the EX200 is our convenient tilt steering fitted with ergonomically positioned paddle trim and jackplate height adjustments. The twin turn-signal like levers make it quick and easy to adjust the best ride and performance from your EX200.

Integrated Insulated Cooler Step

 

The cockpit of the EX200 is furnished with a convenient, insulated cooler, which serves as a step from the cockpit up to the foredeck. The lid for the cooler comes complete with a Syntec Reflex pad to top off the cockpit with an aesthetically appealing look and provides traction for the customer when traversing through the cockpit onto the foredeck.

Custom Foam-Fitting Seats

 

On long runs to the fishing hole and in inclement weather, comfort is the #1 goal. Form-fitting custom bucket seats ensure unbeatable comfort. EX200 seats are firm and precisely contoured to fit people of all sizes. The high-performance design keeps you locked in on tight turns, jolting hole shots and the high speeds the EX200 dishes out. A movable, padded footrest protects your feet, especially on long runs in rough water.

An adjustable driver’s seat allows the driver to commandeer the boat with ease and utmost comfort. A middle fold down seat is located between the two bucket seats as is a grab bar and custom-made dual cup & tool holder. The back of the fold down seat is covered with a non-skid pad. When folded down it serves as a step from the cockpit to the rear deck. Located between the driver and the middle seat is an 18” golden ruler. 

Optional Custom Fitted Cover

 

The EX 200 optional cover is a necessity when storing your investment. The all weather material is form-fitted with a ratchet tension system built into the cover perimeter. It quickly installs, cinches down and protects your boat for years to come.  

Integrated One Boat Network - Electronics

 

 

The Excel EX 200 bass boat is designed to support the one boat network system of electronics, trolling motor and position locking. Meaning, we have pre installed large 2" tubing dedicated to running wires for transducers, network cables and NEMA 2000 systems from the bow to console and console to transom power sources. These ensure easy rigging of fish finders, trolling motors, transducer brackets and all required accessories with network cables and NEMA 2000. The dash accommodates chart plotters up to 10" built in and larger with optional mounting brackets. Front deck takes all sizes of chart plotters, up to 10" built in and other arrangements with optional multi-graph mounts.


 

Troll Motors

 

Your boat is rigged standard with a Minn Kota Fortrex 45" trolling motor. Minn Kota considers its trolling motors to be the strongest bow-mount system in the world. They have a bow guard 360 degree breakaway mount, streamlined recessed heel-toe foot pedal, are easy to use and ergonomically designed. The unit has speed control and momentary on/off. The exclusive Digital Maximizer provides 5 times longer run time.

 

The prop is 100% weedless and pushes the weeds away. The lighted directional indicator on the head unit quickly show the motor position.
