2026 17 EVO with Yamaha 70
From the shop floor to the water.
Kevin walks us through this 2026 17 EVO powered by a white Yamaha F70 and rigged with a flush jumpseat center console, a Garmin 12-inch MFD, and a Minn Kota Terrova on a PwrPux plug with a 24V lithium setup aft.
Release Marine teak accents bring timeless detail to the helm, platforms, and backrest, while V-Marine rod racks and clips keep everything tight and ready for the next mission.
Another clean build out the door — simple, sharp, and built to fish.
Inspired by a trip to Blackfly Lodge in Abaco, this 17 EVO matches the color and Release Marine teak accents of its owner's bigger boat. A white Yamaha F70, a Minn Kota Terrova on power pucks, and a Garmin gauge tied in through NMEA sit alongside a movable casting platform and a diamond-stitched jump-seat console. Built in the carbon package, it's a lighter, shallower-water companion to a larger boat already fishing the same waters.
Taken from the walkaround — what Kevin points out on the boat.
Fishing Bahamas
The boat, up close.
Every East Cape is built to order in Longwood, Florida — one at a time, around how its owner fishes. This is one of them.
