2024 Vantage with Suzuki 90 — delivery walkaround

This Vantage powered by a Suzuki 90 that just left the shop is a prime example of pure classic beauty. Thank you for letting us build your dream boat.

Build notes

This 19 Vantage switches between family sandbar boat and hardcore skiff in minutes, with a removable bimini, folding lean bar, and Power-Pole Micro that all come off to open the deck. A 23-foot Stiffy push pole and bow-mounted trolling motor with hybrid power pucks handle poling, while SeaDek in faux teak and black lines the gunnels around an old-school center console. Power is a white Suzuki 90 with no jack plate, for full skiff-like draft.

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.
