2022 ECB Vantage side console with a 90 Suzuki — delivery walkaround

This Vantage just left the shop and recently headed home. Thank you again!

Build notes

This side-console Vantage keeps it simple, running a Suzuki 90 with a throwback trolling motor mount up front fed by Power-Pucks, plus a spare hub for travel. The color scheme reverses the usual pattern with white piping over gray pleated cushions, and the poling platform carries an under-platform light. An extra motor mount sits at the side console for running big water without banging up the trolling motor, with rod holders angled forward and a Simrad on an articulating mount.

Taken from the walkaround — what Kevin points out on the boat.
