2022 ECB Vantage with a 115 ProXS
Build notes
Splitting time between Jacksonville and Texas, this Vantage runs a Mercury 115 Pro XS CT for speeds north of 50 miles per hour, paired with a Power-Pole Micro and a go-fast poling platform. Its 36-volt Minn Kota Terrova has a shortened shaft borrowed from East Cape's bay boats for stronger thrust in Jacksonville's tides, and the jump-seat console carries a gimbal-mounted GPS that rotates to cut sun glare. The trailer adds a full-size spare tire for long hauls.
Taken from the walkaround — what Kevin points out on the boat.

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