2026 East Cape 18 EVO with a white Suzuki 60 — delivery walkaround

Kevin takes a walk around this 2026 17 EVO — a clean, simple, and smart build from bow to stern.

Powered by a white Suzuki 60 and outfitted with a side console layout, a backrest, a PwrPux system, custom SeaDek decking, and an Edson wheel, this one blends comfort and capability in true East Cape fashion.

A sharp setup, and another craft out chasing its next story on the water.

Build notes

Bound for the Florida Keys, this 18 EVO was built for a couple who wanted faster, drier, and easier to pull than what they had before. A flush-mount platform up front sets up for tarpon fishing, SeaDek with a tarpon-scale pattern covers the deck, and a white Suzuki 60 pairs with a side-console Simrad and a hook puller for Keys-style anchoring. Loaded down, it runs in the low 40s, fishing in the morning and ready for the sandbar by afternoon.

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

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