OverviewThe Bayou 180 and BAYOU 180CC are purpose-built, all-welded aluminum jon boats optimized for mud-motor propulsion and shallow-water hunting. Constructed from 5052 aluminum (0.100 gauge), these 18' boats feature a 50" bottom, rolled sides for mud release, welded-in gun boxes and a stable, open deck layout for gear and decoys. Designed to operate in marsh, timber and backwater environments with a max recommended outboard of 40 HP.
Testimonial"No other boat provides us with the shallow water performance and load carrying ability, while delivering our clients and our children safely to the hole. We depend on our Xpress Bayou 18V daily, and it doesn’t disappoint."
