Capt. Max McKinley’s Fully Rigged 25 Open
Step aboard Captain Max McKinley’s 25 Open, fully rigged and ready for action. Filmed at the Miami International Boat Show, Max takes us through this build and what makes it the ultimate setup for both inshore and offshore fishing.
Powered by a Suzuki 300, this beast is outfitted with a half tower, twin 10ft Power-Pole Blades, Power-Pole Vision, Lowrance electronics, and a Minn Kota trolling motor — a serious rig for a serious guide.
Max runs Maxed Out Fishing Charters out of Stuart, Florida and Hopedale, Louisiana. Check out the full walkaround and see why this build is dialed for any fishing adventure.
Every East Cape is built to order in Longwood, Florida — one at a time, around how its owner fishes. This is one of them.
