War Eagle is one of the best, most durable boats made. I've had a 1542 for about 4 years and have really enjoyed it. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.
X2 The WarEagle1542 is one tough duck/fishing boat. You Might break your Motor or Trolling Motor on the water, but I promise ya one thing your not going to break the WarEagle 1542 unless you drive it stright into a concrete wall and even then I have my doubts. I have fished one for 10 years now on some of the toughest water Arkansas has to offer namely (Lake Conway) and all ive had to do is add a lil camo pray paint every now n then.;)Quote:

Let us know if you get one. I want to check it out.
Those Excel Boat are nice. but they are so high priced the dealership in searcy wont stock there crappie/bass fishing boats when I was asking about them back in march/april. The owner said that do to there high price that he wont even stock the duck boats till later this year closer to hunting season. to help keep the overhead low.
War eagle for sure. I have a 1997 model 1648 and its in awesome shape. built strong
B&R Marine has some of the Excel duck boats in stock.Quote:

SeaArk makes an outstanding duck hunting/fishing boat, the Cast & Blast 150. You ought to go to their website and take a look at it.
Another vote for War Eagle

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'm kind of leaning toward the War Eagle. Only bad thing about them is the name. Reminds me of Auburn ha ha.
You won't be unhappy with a War Eagle. Check the specs on all of them, particularly the guage aluminum they are made out of.

That was actually at the Palarm Creek ramp on 365 but it does look similar now that you mention it. Thanks for the comp on the boat. I absolutely love this rig.Quote:

Not mine, but looks to be a great duck rig at a good price. Good fishing size. Craigslist Little Rock.
2010 EXCEL DB
I know of 2 guys with 1542 WE boats and both have busted welds on the transom and the paint is wearing off on the floor... too much $$$ for that to happen IMO. I really enjoy my Xpress 15DB (1546 duck boat) with a 25 Tohatsu pushing her thru the stumps and on the Meto.
