At Bill Byers Hunter Club the choice is simple for us. 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.

The All-New Bayou Series: Built for the Backwater. When the road ends, the water gets shallow, and you need something that will get you to where you can’t get, the Bayou Series takes over. Purpose-built for the GatorTail motor, the Bayou 180 and Bayou 180CC are all-welded, all-aluminum machines engineered to power through the marsh, timber, and backwater with confidence. The Bayou 180 and 180 CC are tough, simple, and ready to hunt. Its stable platform, ample floor space, and welded-in gun boxes gives you the space you need for decoys, gear, and your crew, while the unshakable all-welded aluminum hull handles the punishment of stumps, logs, and shallow runs. The new Bayou series boat allows you to discover the freedom to go where others can’t.
Xpress Boats is a proud sponsor of RNT-V featured on the Sportsman’s Channel.
