2024 ECB Vantage with Mercury 115 ProXS — delivery walkaround

Kevin does a walk around just before Christmas on a beautiful Vantage powered by a Mercury 115 ProXS.

Build notes

This 19 Vantage is built for travel, with a spare wheel and swing tongue for the trailer plus two-tone black-and-silver mag wheels. A guide-mounted trolling motor and a flush deck mount for a future casting platform sit up front, with anodized-blue V-Marine hardware and teak SeaDek under the gunnels. The closed bilge system keeps water from a wet transom out of the motor well, and a Mercury 115 Pro XS on a SeaStar jack plate provides strong hole shot.

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.
