Whisper Grey 2027 Vantage with Mercury 115 Pro XS

Whisper Grey and Matterhorn White on a Vantage with a Mercury 115 Pro XS, built in black and Suntan for the South Carolina Lowcountry.

Whisper Grey on the hull and console with Matterhorn White on the deck, cockpit, and non-skid, a black rub rail, and black rod rings. The full-height center console sits 17 inches off the bulkhead with a flush-mount 15-inch Garmin 1543xsv taking everything over NMEA 2000, a welded ghost grab bar over the console, and the trim tab switch in the LED layout.

Power is a Mercury 115 Pro XS Command Thrust with a three-blade stainless prop and SeaStar tilt hydraulic steering, no jackplate. Up front, a Power-Pole Move on a port bow mount with 36-volt power in the livewell hatch and an off-board charger, a GT34 transducer on the transom, and a Power-Pole Blade on the port side aft. A flush Accon cleat on the bow, a black-body spreader light under the poling platform, and the livewell left dry and drained to the bilge, with an aft pair of rod tubes added for fly rods.

Everything welded wears satin black textured powder coat: the classic poling platform with two steps, the front casting platform on a hatch turnbuckle mount, the 36-inch U-shape lean bar, the grab bar, the cup holders, and the wheel. Suntan cushions with black stitching in firm 3-inch foam on magnetic mounts, a three-piece removable hatch-style backrest, a matching YETI Mag 35 cushion in a port-aft bucket holder, and an Emperor stool to match with its own tie-down up front. Black SeaDek on the cockpit and both platforms, black under-gunnel padding over a Medium Grey pinline, nylon spool rod racks and push pole clips, and a black push pole holder on the starboard side. Riding on a Diamondback trailer with the galvanized wheels powder coated satin black to match.

Thank you for trusting East Cape with your skiff.
