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.

Run confidently in thin water, mud, and muck with today’s latest surface drive motors. Complete solution, complete xcitement.
