Guide Green 2027 Vantage with Suzuki 90 — delivery day

Guide Green and Matterhorn White on a Vantage with a Suzuki 90, teak underfoot and a Bimini overhead, staying home on Tampa Bay.

Guide Green on the hull with Matterhorn White on the deck, console, cockpit, and non-skid, a black rub rail, and black rod rings. The jumpseat console stands 24 inches tall and 18 inches off the bulkhead, with a flush-mounted 12-inch Simrad NSS12 on the right side running a 3-in-1 transducer, three fluted rod holders welded down the starboard side, a ghost grab bar over the top and two more on the console, USB-C and USB-A in the glove box, and a powder-coated wheel. A black Bimini covers the console for the Tampa summers.

Power is a black Suzuki 90 with a three-blade stainless prop and Baystar hydraulic steering, no jackplate. Up front, a black 60-inch Power-Pole Move on a port bow mount with 36-volt lithium power in the console and an off-board charger, and a black 6-foot Power-Pole on the port side aft. A pull-up cleat on the bow, stern eyes, a telescoping boarding ladder on the starboard side, a standard livewell, and white LEDs under the gunnels and under the hull with a white spreader light in a black housing under the platform.

The Go Fast poling platform wears satin black textured powder coat with a rod holder each side, a cup holder port-fore, and a folding backrest with a step built in. Beach Tan cushions with Bentley stitching, no piping, on hard mounts. Teak 2-inch SeaDek on the cockpit and poling platform with black trim, teak under-gunnel padding, spool rod racks and push pole clips, a black push pole holder on the starboard side, a 20-foot Stiffy Hybrid push pole, and a white YETI in a port-aft bucket holder. Riding on a Diamondback trailer with a swing tongue and ratchet straps.
