2022 ECB Vantage with a Yamaha 115 — delivery walkaround

This fast skiff is headed to Texas. Also, don't forget, we will have 2 Bay Boats for Demo on the water at the 2022 Miami International Boat Show.

Build notes

Headed to Texas, this 19 Vantage skips the casting platform and trolling motor entirely — the owner fishes standing up, and without that gear it picks up two to four extra miles an hour. It runs a Yamaha 115 SHO on an Atlas jack plate with a PowerTech prop, rod holders on both sides, a wooden dowel fuel gauge, and backing plates in case a trolling motor gets added later. The trailer carries the aluminum upgrade.

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.
