2023 East Cape VHP powered by Mercury 150 ProXS
Kevin does a full walk around on this amazing VHP powered by a Mercury 150 ProXS.
Build notes
Built for Boca Grande-to-Honeymoon Island tarpon runs, this 19 VHP keeps its trolling-motor wiring built into the bow, along with a spotlight for running to the first spot before daylight and a 16-inch Simrad worked into the console. Gray-and-green pleated cushions, double-thick piano hinges, and a blackout Kevlar package finish the deck, with stern Power-Poles and a Mercury Pro XS 150 good for high 50s to low 60s mph with four aboard.
Taken from the walkaround — what Kevin points out on the boat.
Fishing Tampa
Every East Cape is built to order in Longwood, Florida — one at a time, around how its owner fishes. This is one of them.
