2026 VHP with Mercury 115 Pro XS
Adam takes us through this 2026 VHP, a build that blends performance with thoughtful details.
Powered by a Mercury 115 Pro XS CT, this skiff is outfitted with a flush non-jumpseat center console, a Simrad 12-inch MFD with 3-in-1 transducer, a Power-Pole Move on the bow, and an 8-foot Power-Pole Blade on the stern. A peek-a-boo livewell window adds a unique touch, making this boat as functional as it is personalized.
Thank you for trusting us to build your dream boat.
Finished in an earth-tone color scheme for South Florida, this 19 VHP is a live-bait angler's build with a peek-a-boo door on the livewell for quick bait dips without springing loose fish. A Mercury 115 Pro XS CT pairs with a Power-Pole MOVE up front and another on the stern, plus a Power-Pole stakeout system, while staggered ghost floating rod holders keep reels clear without visible mounting hardware. A quick-release dive ladder covers sandbar days too.
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.
