EVO V with Mercury 115 — delivery walkaround

This boat just left heading to its new home for Christmas.

Build notes

This 18 EVO V left in time for Christmas with an aluminum trailer upgrade, a spare axle, and a front bolt-in mount that lets the casting platform and guide-mount trolling motor share duty without upsetting the boat's balance. V-Marine push-pull holders, black rod rings, and angled rod holders line the deck, and a small decal memorializes a family dog. Gray pleated cushions with black piping, a Simrad, a live well, and a welded-rod-holder poling platform round out a Mercury 115.

Taken from the walkaround — what Kevin points out on the boat.
