2025 East Cape 17 EVO Tiller with Suzuki 30
Kevin takes us back to the water for his first on-the-water walkaround video in a while, featuring this sleek 17 EVO tiller. Powered by a Suzuki 30, this setup is all about simplicity, performance, and the ability to navigate even the shallowest waters. Watch as Kevin highlights what makes this skiff a true standout in our lineup—and don’t miss the performance at the end!
Check out the full walkaround video and see why the 17 EVO remains a fan favorite for serious anglers.
This 17 EVO tiller runs a Suzuki 30 and heads to South Carolina. It carries a low-profile poling platform, a bolstered slimline seat cushion, and V-Marine rod spools rigged for fly rods up to 9.5 feet on each side. Loaded with a trolling motor and passenger, it clocks just over 30 mph on an 11-pitch prop; stripped down, it tops 33. The rear hatch plumbs as a livewell or cooler, and the 14-degree-deadrise hull keeps the gunnels easy to walk.
