East Cape VHP with a Mercury 175
Check out the full walk around of this speedy VHP that left the shop recently.
This 19 VHP (Vantage High Performance) pairs a Mercury 175 Pro XS on a four-blade prop with sponsons that give early warning before the stern breaks loose, running high 60s to mid 70s mph. A removable poling platform adds one to three mph when pulled for tournament work in fresh or saltwater. The deck carries toggled gray-on-gray cushions, a 12-inch Simrad, JL Marine audio, anodized red V-Marine hardware, and twin Power-Poles, with a bow-mounted trolling motor and spare hub for long-distance travel.
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.
