2026 18 EVO with Suzuki 90 to SC — delivery walkaround

Kevin takes a walk around this 2026 18 EVO just before it headed up to the South Carolina coast.

Powered by a Suzuki 90 and rigged with a Minn Kota trolling motor, a Lowrance MFD, and custom touches throughout, this build is all about clean execution, comfort, and covering water efficiently.

Another East Cape craft ready for its next chapter.

Build notes

Headed to the Low Country, this 18 EVO is set up for an owner who may end up guiding out of it. A Suzuki 90 and a Minn Kota Terrova trolling motor sit behind a gray-on-gray color scheme over Matterhorn white, with a Lowrance MFD and a separate tachometer at the helm. Loaded down, it realistically runs 41 to 45 mph, quiet enough for flood-tide and tarpon fishing off the beach.

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