This 18’ boat was developed to have a stable, comfortable, and very dry ride and is exactly that! The BATTLE WAGON 18 is constructed for local commercial fisherman on the east cost near Atlantic City NJ to battle the harsh winter water conditions & have efficient fuel economy with fast speed capability. This amazing hull is now available to the public in either bare hull form or rigged and ready to play or work in your demanding conditions form. Please call for detailed information and a demonstration!
Hi, & thank you for your interest!
All pictures are of the same boat. Of course we can go for a ride prior to your purchase, and I am hopeful this will be the most comfortable and driest 18' fishing boat ride you experience!
I construct the boats in NJ and can offer the 18' in various price ranges and completion stages. The 18CC pictured above in bristol condition is for sale @ $23,500-including 90hp Mercury, leaning post, 28 gallon fuel tank and new roller trailer. In addition, the 18’ CC pictured above with 28 gallons of fuel and one 170lb person aboard has the potential to achieve speeds approaching 49.3 mph.

Thanks timebandit et al.
he hull is foam filled but i am not sure what you mean about double hull foam filled. There is the bottom of the boat, stringers, foam, then the floor of the boat.
No fish boxes in this model, but i think if you really wanted to BATTLE WAGON can make you one with them, however its really an army jeep, with no extras just a hard core work boat.
$23500, YES. B/C It’s the smoothest, driest, most fuel efficient well built and speedy for its class of boat. This hull is for a person who owns a larger sport fish but wants a boat they can beat down and not have to worry about a soggy floor, rotted transom, or hardware working loose, or getting wet when coming home from a fish, play or work outing. It’s also for the 1st time boat enthusiast who demands all around performance and quality. The boat comes with a lifetime structural warrantee!

Looks like a Alcar. Is it a self-bailing deck? The scuppers are at or below water level with no-one aboard. Not being critical, just wondering if you take on any water when drifting. Might also want to consider an engine well for splash overs.
Do you have any specs on weight and hull dead-rise?

Hi mike,
If you look closely at the pictures you will notice:
Rod storage on the starboard side of the console (3) with one rod verticle ready to fish.
Both nav lights and cockpit lights are installed in the boat pictured above and you can view those as well
YEs, there is below decks storage both in front of the console (new just added) and behind the leaning post
Battle Wagon can do built in fuel but wanted to keep everything above decks on this boat (it is located under the leaning post 28 gallons).
Full length fiberglass stringers, foam filled, Can add a rub rail if you desire. Dead-Rise is: Comfortable…can’t tell the competition everything gang, I am sure you all understand.
Thank you all for the pms and well wishes much appreciated!
PM me if you want any more specs on the hull.
In addition hinmo- great ideas thank you! also the bow in the stern pic was resting on the sand and placed the stern into the water more then normal, thats what put the scuppers below the water line. Thank you for noticing, great eyes!
18' BATTLE WAGON CC THE SMOOTHEST AND DRIEST! 
Looks like a pretty solid no frills fish-killer. Is that double hull foam? Solid glass?
