2023 East Cape EVO powered by a Mercury 115 Pro XS — delivery walkaround

Matt goes over another beautiful EVO powered by a Mercury 115 ProXS that left the shop recently.

Build notes

This 18 EVO rides on a Ram-Lin trailer with a spare hub and tire up front, a Minn Kota trolling motor, and a pop-up cleat on the bow. The cockpit carries rod racks, SeaDek, and a Simrad 12 at the console, with pleated cushions trimmed in black piping. Power comes from a Mercury Pro XS 115, backed by a telescopic boarding ladder and an 8-foot Power-Pole. It heads to Jacksonville.

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.
