2024 18 EVO with Mercury ProXS 115 — delivery walkaround

Kevin goes over this tricked out 18 EVO powered by a Mercury 115 Pro XS left the shop recently headed home to its new owner. Thank you again for letting us build your dream boat.

Build notes

This 18 EVO heads to South Florida for Biscayne and Everglades water, running a Mercury 115 Pro XS on a 23-pitch, three-blade prop that reaches into the high 50s, though it cruises comfortably in the low-to-mid 50s. It adds a shotgun rod holder each side beyond the eight standard tubes, a Garmin 12-inch MFD, JL Audio speakers, and two-tone gray pleated cushions. A Black Oak direct light doubles for night launches, and a Power-Pole carries a telescopic boarding ladder.

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.
