2026 Excel Boats Stormcat

The Ultimate Cat Fishing Experience
The 21’ Stormcat is built on our most advanced big water platform for the ultimate experience
for recreational as well as competitive fishermen.
An aggressive hull with 18-degree deadrise allows you to cut through big water at speeds up to 55mph, while maintaining the comfort expected from a world class fishing boat. The Stormcat’s massive 80 gallon livewell, rod lockers and ample storage makes this boat a fishing platform that rivals any on the water. Thick 0.250 gauge bottoms, 0.190-gauge transom, and 0.160 gauge sides & floors make the Stormcat one of the toughest rides on the water. Driver and passenger suspension seats, 70 gallon fuel tank, self-bailing front deck and wash down station are just a few of the standard features of the Stormcat. Rated for a 300HP motor.

Outfish the competition
The Stormcat sets itself apart with a focus on spacious storage and extreme fishability. Its extra large front deck with built-in tackle storage, and dedicated bow seat offers unparalleled casting space and convenience, ensuring your fishing arsenal stays organized and within arm’s reach at all times.

Smooth Ride | High Speeds
The Stormcat’s advance hull allows you to cut through the water at speeds upwards of 55mph while maintaining the comfort you would expect from a world class cat fishing boat.

The Stormcat’s walkthrough transom door is a game-changer for catfishermen. This innovative feature allows anglers to easily move between the deck and the transom, providing unparalleled access to their lines. When a big fish strikes, the walkthrough door allows for quick and efficient maneuvering, ensuring that the angler is in the best position to land their catch. Whether it’s battling a massive catfish in deep waters or fighting a stubborn flathead in shallows, the Stormcat’s walkthrough transom door gives catfishermen the advantage they need to bring in the big one.

Stability & Durability
Catfishing often involves navigating rough waters, strong currents, and potentially snags. A stable hull with a strong construction is crucial for safety and handling. The Stormcat’s deep V-hull design and robust .250 ga aluminum hull and .160 ga aluminum sides will get you there and back, day in and day out.

Functional Layout
Catfishing requires ample space for casting, fighting fish, storing rods and tackle, and maneuvering around the boat. The Stormcat’s layout prioritizes a spacious bow deck, ample rod holders, and easy access to storage compartments.

Spacious Livewells
Keeping catfish healthy and lively is essential for successful catches. The Stormcat’s large 100 gal. livewell with the option to divide it into a livewell and a separate baitwell is a vital feature that will make your days on the water a success.
