2026 17 EVO with 60 Suzuki and custom lean tube set up. — delivery walkaround

Kevin walks through this 2026 17 EVO — a tight, well-thought-out setup built for long days on the water.

Powered by a Suzuki 60 and rigged with a Minn Kota Terrova, a PwrPux system, Garmin electronics, and a side-console layout, this one is all about function and clean execution. The bimini top and the custom Drift-style lean-bar tray finish it off.

Another sharp craft heading out to put in work.

Build notes

A longtime owner trading up from a Glide for something bigger and more versatile, this 17 EVO stays close to home around Ormond, Daytona, and Ponce Inlet. A minimalist side console carries a Garmin on an articulating mount, a Minn Kota Terrova, and power pucks, with a white Suzuki 60 on the transom running 42 to 45 mph. A custom thermoformed thigh brace doubles as a lean bar and stripping station for sight fishing on the trolling motor.

Taken from the walkaround — what Kevin points out on the boat.
