Build notes
This 18 EVO V pairs blue and gray with an offset guide-mount trolling motor and an oversized casting platform up front. A curved-top lean bar, piano-hinged hatch, and non-flush console with a removable bracket keep it easy to service. Rod holders run forward and aft, SeaDek pads sit where reels lay, and a Simrad and V-Marine push-pull clips round out the deck. The 40-gallon tapered live well doubles as ballast, and a Mercury 115 Pro XS CT powers it.

Fishing Miami
Every East Cape is built to order in Longwood, Florida — one at a time, around how its owner fishes. This is one of them.
