Absolute Unit: 2026 18 EVO Carbon powered by Mercury 115 ProXS

Kevin takes a walk through a fully loaded 2026 EVO 18 Carbon Edition built for Captain Sam Glass of Fly Way Charters before it heads toward the northern Gulf Coast.

Every part of this build was laid out around the way Sam fishes — long days sight fishing across the marshes, beaches, and backwater systems of coastal Alabama and Mississippi. Lightweight, technical, and designed to stay efficient while covering serious water.

Powered by a Mercury 115 Pro XS CT, this carbon setup features a Power-Pole MOVE system with PwrPux integration, flush-mounted Simrad NSS Evo4 12-inch electronics, and a Power-Pole Vision system mounted on a BalzOut.

Finished with Livorsi controls, a SeaStar jack plate, custom SeaDek decking, a Marquesa Marine carbon platform with Emperor casting stool, V-Marine push pole clips, a bucket holder, push pole caddie, custom black hardware, and a Ramlin trailer underneath it all.

The kind of skiff that comes from knowing exactly how and where it's going to be used. If you're around coastal Alabama and looking to get on the water with Sam, look up Fly Way Charters.

Thank you for trusting us to bring this craft to life.
