2026 17 EVO x Tunnel with 70 Yamaha — delivery walkaround

Before we hit the road for Texas, Kevin takes a walk around the skiff we're bringing with us.

This 2026 17 EVOx Tunnel is laid up in carbon and Kevlar and powered by a Yamaha 70 — a lightweight, shallow-water platform built for serious skinny-water performance. Rigged with a PwrPux system, an Atlas Micro jack plate, a Simrad MFD, a Ramlin trailer, and V-Marine push-pole clips and rod holders, it's dialed in and ready to fish.

This one made the trip to the Houston Fishing Show at the George R. Brown Convention Center.

Every East Cape is built to order in Longwood, Florida — one at a time, around how its owner fishes. This is one of them.
