Moondust 2027 Vantage with Suzuki 90

Moondust 2027 Vantage with Suzuki 90 — delivery walkaround

Adam walks a Moondust Vantage headed for Florida's Gulf Coast.

Moondust on the hull, deck, console, cockpit, and non-skid, with an old-school East Cape V on the bulkhead — the owner's call, and it suits the boat.

A Suzuki 90 in black with Baystar steering and a stainless three-blade. A Lowrance Recon on the starboard bow running 36V lithium out of the console, wired straight to a Lowrance HDS 10, and a Power-Pole Micro to port.

Go Fast poling platform with a white spreader light underneath, a trap-style casting platform on the forward hatch, a folding backrest with a step, and a telescoping boarding ladder to starboard. Mocha over Black decking with a pinline on both platforms, tarpon-scale under-gunnel padding, Beige Simtex with black stitching, and a black rub rail. An EVO-style livewell tucked port aft, rod tubes three forward and one aft per side, and a 24-foot Carbon Marine GLR3 in fixed classic clips. Riding on a Ramlin trailer with a swing tongue.

The V logo on the bulkhead was the owner's call. Some people want the history on the boat.

Thank you for trusting East Cape with your skiff.
