2026 25 Open with Mercury 300 headed South

2026 25 Open with Mercury 300 headed South — delivery walkaround

Adam walks through this 2026 25 Open — built with purpose and rigged for range.

Powered by a Mercury 300 and built for versatility — confident in rough water and equally at home inshore. Equipped with a Minn Kota trolling motor paired with PwrPux, a custom switch panel at the helm, and dual Simrad MFDs for full situational awareness. Riding on a Ramlin trailer and finished with the details that make it an East Cape.

Built to cover water. Built to do more.

Build notes

Set up to cross Biscayne Bay in any weather, then run nearshore or fish inshore, this 25 Open is built for a canal-system owner working around low bridges. A Minn Kota trolling motor sits up front, a compact Llebroc Billfish bench seat keeps the cockpit open, and dual Simrad MFDs cover mapping and engine data. Power comes from a Mercury Verado 300 V8 with a Rev4 prop for hole shot even loaded down.

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