Build notes

This 19 Vantage pairs a Mercury 115 Pro XS with a rear-mounted trolling motor position so it stays out of the way running rough water across bays and the beach. The offset center console keeps a clear rod path on both sides, and the deck combines gray-on-black pleated cushions, SeaDek, welded rod holders, and a Simrad on a gimbaled mount. An oversized casting platform sits on piano hinges, and the trailer's swing tongue keeps the rig under 19 feet 10 inches, built for travel from Louisiana to the Keys.

Taken from the walkaround — what Kevin points out on the boat.
