2024 ECB Vantage BF Bench and Suzuki 90
Kevin does a full walk around on another Vantage that left the shop recently. This one was inspired by the fleet at Black Fly Lodge and is powered by a Suzuki 90.
This 19 Vantage takes cues from the fleet at Black Fly Lodge, which has run a dozen Vantages for more than a decade at 250 days a year. A removable bench seat with an armrest opens the deck fully when the owner wants to fish solo, an oversized casting platform and offset cleat lead the bow, and a micro Power-Pole keeps the layout clean. A Suzuki 90 pushes it into the high 30s to low 40s mph.
Taken from the walkaround — what Kevin points out on the boat.
