2023 East Cape Vantage with Mercury ProXS 115 — delivery walkaround

Kevin goes over this clean Vantage that left the shop recently powered by a Mercury 115 ProXS. Thank you again for letting us build your dream skiff!

Build notes

This 19 Vantage wears tan cushions with an Eddie Bauer-style contrast over the hull color, paired with a Mercury 115 Pro XS. It carries a Stiffy hybrid push pole, an offset trolling motor mount, welded rod holders on the lean bar, and removable V-Marine spools with piano hinges. A 7-inch Simrad sits at the console, and the trailer gets an aluminum upgrade with a spare on a torsion axle. Its owner will fish Florida's upper east coast.

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.
