EVO 115 Mercury to the Panhandle! — delivery walkaround

Another beautiful EVO V left the shop this week.

Build notes

This 18 EVO V heads to the Florida Panhandle running a Mercury 115 Pro XS on a 23-pitch prop, good for low-to-mid-50s speeds. A micro Power-Pole, removable dive ladder, and directional all-around light sit at the transom, while the spider-style platform wears SeaDek on top. Tan cushions contrast the hull, three angled rod holders run each side, and a 12-inch Simrad and Wet Sounds system round out a boat set up for scalloping and sandbar days as much as fishing.

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.
