2023 East Cape EVO with a Mercury ProXS 115 — delivery walkaround

Kevin does a full walk around on one of the latest EVO's that left the shop.

Build notes

This white-hulled 18 EVO runs a center console without a jump seat, a Simrad 12, and non-pleated gray cushions, with a trolling motor mounted portside instead of the usual bow-center spot. A slide-out lean bar with a light underneath and swappable casting platforms front and back round out the deck. On the Mercury Pro XS 115, it holds high 50s and touches 60 fully loaded.

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.
