Capt. Rick Hilliard
Weird Water Fishing Charters — New Smyrna native
Runs a 17 EVOxMosquito Lagoon · Ponce Inlet
Rick guides the Mosquito Lagoon and Ponce Inlet out of New Smyrna, where he grew up. His 17 EVOx is a working boat: guide seasons, skinny water, clients on the bow most days of the week.
His review of the boat is in his words, not ours — what held up, what he would change, and why he keeps running it.
On the water
Rick, working.
Their boat. Your boat.
Build a 17 EVOx like Rick’s.
Same hull, your choices — power, colors, rigging. Start with the 17 EVOx, then build it your way. One at a time, in Longwood, Florida.
