2026 18 EVO with a Mercury 115 ProXS — delivery walkaround

A closer look at a 2026 18 EVO set up to cover water and see more while doing it.

Powered by a Mercury 115 Pro XS and rigged with an elevated flats tower for added visibility while running, this build is all about control and awareness in shallow water. At the helm, a Simrad MFD paired with a Simrad trolling motor keeps everything clean and connected.

Finished with custom camo SeaDek decking, blackout hardware, a Stiffy Fibertex push pole, and sitting on a Ramlin aluminum trailer with a folding tongue — this one checks every box.

Recently delivered and headed to South Florida, ready to put in work.
