This 18 EVO becomes a guide's new charter boat in Southeast Louisiana marsh country. It runs a Mercury 115 Pro XS on a jack plate, a Power-Pole Move offset up front, a removable casting cage on the bow, a center console with jump seat and flush Simrad, and an underplatform light. Built for fly fishing and long-range days, the boat is set up to cruise efficiently on trips that can run 60 to 150 miles.
