2025 17 EVO with Suzuki 60 — delivery walkaround

Walk with Adam through this clean and capable 2025 17 EVO—built with a Suzuki 60, jumpseat center console, Simrad MFD, and a V-Marine push pole holder.

Simple. Purpose-built. Ready for the shallows.

Thank you for letting us build your dream skiff.

Build notes

Bound for the Florida Keys with no trolling motor, this 17 EVO relies on fixed push-pole clips and a dedicated holder for a mini stakeout pole so the owner can anchor quickly without giving up a rod holder. It runs a Suzuki 60, a jump-seat console with a built-in cooler, a 12-inch Simrad loaded with satellite chart data, a centerline-mounted transducer for clean readings on plane, and an all-around spotlight for night fishing.

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.
