2023 East Cape EVO with 115 Mercury ProXS — delivery walkaround

Kevin does a full walk around on one of the latest EVO's to leave the shop. Thank you for letting us build your dream skiff.

Build notes

This 18 EVO V pops with a brushed aluminum rub rail and matching hardware, riding an upgraded aluminum trailer with a swing tongue. Power pucks on the nose keep the trolling motor mount internal, next to a Marquesa carbon platform. The old-school console carries a non-flush gauge, a jump seat, and double-thick pleated white cushions with a removable backrest. A Mercury 115 Pro XS on a jack plate runs it into the 50s and up to 60 mph; its owner plans to travel the Southeast.

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.
