2026 VHP with Mercury 115 Pro XS
Adam takes a closer look at this 2026 VHP, walking through the layout and the thinking behind one of the most balanced platforms we build.
Powered by a Mercury 115 Pro XS and equipped with a Power-Pole MOVE trolling motor, a center console configuration, and a Simrad MFD, this setup keeps things simple, efficient, and ready for real days on the water.
A proven hull, refined and back where it belongs — chasing fish.
This 19 VHP keeps things simple with a jump-seat center console with an integrated cooler, so nothing has to ride loose in the cockpit. A Mercury 115 Pro XS with a CT lower unit pairs with trim tabs and a jack plate for three ways to control attitude, while a Power-Pole MOVE trolling motor and a Simrad NSS Evo3 handle the rest. Staying local to Central Florida, it's a clean build with no shortage of options.
Taken from the walkaround — what Kevin points out on the boat.
The boat, up close.
Every East Cape is built to order in Longwood, Florida — one at a time, around how its owner fishes. This is one of them.
