2023 East Cape VHP powered by a Mercury 175 ProXS — delivery walkaround

Adam goes over this tricked out VHP with a 175 and white accents just left the shop. Thank you again for letting us build your dream boat!

Build notes

This 19 VHP is rigged for guide work, headed to the Panhandle with a removable bow platform, a fixed grab bar, and swappable lean-bar tubes for different clients. A 52-inch Power-Pole Move runs on lithium, paired with dual networked Humminbirds on quick-release mounts. Aqua blue SeaDek camo covers the deck, with push-pole caddies both on the platform and up top. A custom white Mercury Pro XS 175 on a Bob's jack plate cruises near 40 mph under 4,000 rpm.

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.
