East Cape Kevlar Glide with Yamaha 25 tiller

East Cape Kevlar Glide with Yamaha 25 tiller — delivery walkaround

This super simple and ultra-lightweight skiff will be living on a sportfisher destined for great adventures.

Build notes

This East Cape Glide is built as a tender for the bow of a Viking sportfisher, entirely solid Kevlar to keep weight down. It runs a Yamaha 25 tiller with Carbon Marine hardware, a hand-control trolling motor, polished V-Marine spool holders, and a small insulated livewell that also works as a cooler. Simple and light, it's meant for grocery runs, bonefish, and spearfishing.

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.
