2024 ECB Vantage with Mercury 115 ProXS Sporting Tan — delivery walkaround

Kevin does one of the last walk arounds of the year on this amazing Vantage that left the shop recently. Thank you again for letting us build you dream boat!

Build notes

This 18 EVO wears a sporting tan-and-white color combo with teak-and-holly SeaDek under the gunnels, a departure from the usual palette. A Power-Pole Move trolling motor with Power Pucks and a piano-hinged front hatch lead back to a center console with no jump seat, a peekaboo livewell lid, and angled welded rod holders that keep large reels from knocking together in a chop. Two interchangeable lean bars, a U-style and a T-style, swap depending on the trip.

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.
