The production prototype 17 EVO V Lite, Ice Blue with a Honda 60, is going to work.

This is the hull the V Lite was proven on, the one we ran, poled, and picked apart before the model went into the lineup. Capt. Alex Heim has been here before: a Caimen, then an 18 EVO X, both sold to buy his 21 EVO. The 21 covers tarpon and nearshore days, and this one puts him back in the skiff game for the skinny stuff in Central Florida. 16 feet 5 inches, 70-inch beam, 14 degrees of deadrise, and it floats in under 6 inches with two guys and fuel aboard.

Ice Blue hull and cockpit on a carbon layup with an aramid hull bottom, a 60 on the transom, side console, flush pull-up bow cleat, brushed poling platform with a poling step and carbon-clear step lid, fixed Light Grey aft cushion, black , black classic push pole clips. No trolling motor, no electronics, nothing to fix. Built to be poled. On a Diamondback trailer with a swing tongue.

Walk-around coming.

Thank you for trusting East Cape with your skiff — again.

Happy Halloween from the crew at East Cape.

The only thing scary about this one is the sea state. Stay spooky, stay shallow, and keep the kids' candy out of the bilge.

On location at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

Honda Marine invited us to bring a boat down, and we brought the right one: Captain Rick Hilliard's Ice Blue 25 Open with a second station and the Honda BF350 V8 on the transom. Rick runs out of New Smyrna Beach and is a Honda Marine ambassador, so he is the guy to ask about how this boat fishes offshore and skinny.

The East Cape team is on the dock through Sunday. If you are at the show, come find us and talk boats.

Where: Slip C-310, Pier 66, in the display.
When: Through Sunday, November 1.

Kevin walks a Kingston Grey 17 EVO V with a Suzuki 60, the second East Cape for a friend of the shop going back almost 20 years.

His last one was an 18 with a 115 and he loved it. This time he wanted smaller and more personal: less tournament running, more sight fishing on the lagoon, back to the roots. The 17 EVO V does that without giving up the ride. 14-degree deadrise V bottom, floats in under 8 inches, and the 60 on the Atlas Micro jackplate puts it in the low 40s.

Side console in Kingston Grey under a Matterhorn White deck, 9-inch NSS Evo3S, hand-control on a removable port bow mount with 24-volt lithium, 6-foot .Pole Pro, V-Marine push pole holders fore and aft, Light Grey pleated vinyl with black piping, Light Grey . On a Diamondback trailer with the swing tongue, low profile, spare, jack, and winch standard.

Thank you for trusting East Cape with your skiff — again.

Kevin walks the first 17 EVO X Lite to leave the shop, a stripped-down carbon skiff with a Tohatsu jet, headed to South Texas, which is exactly what it was designed for.

It's already there, running in under four inches and catching fish. A full carbon deck over a carbon-Kevlar hull, Whisper Grey on grey, graphite Gator Glide on the bottom, and a blackout package on every weld. No hatches, thinner gunnels, shorter decks, and the biggest cockpit of any skiff East Cape builds, bigger than the Vantage's.

A Tohatsu 60/40 jet on a 20-inch transom, tiller with an extension. Kevin saw 28 to 30 mph in the salt, and it gets up in about a quarter of a boat length. A PowerDrive on a removable mount up front, a black 4-foot .Pole off the stern, a spreader on the blacked-out casting platform, under-platform and under-gunnel lights, and Medium Grey .

And the trailer is a first. Ramlin stopped building, and Diamondback stepped in with the same dry-launch design, built with East Cape, and a parts and service home for anyone still running a Ramlin. More on that coming.

Thank you for trusting East Cape with your skiff, and for being first.

East Cape is going to Fort Lauderdale, and we're going as Honda's guest.

invited us to put a boat on display at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, October 28 through November 1, and the boat is Captain Rick Hilliard's new 25 Open. Rick is a Honda Marine ambassador, runs , and his boat left our shop a few weeks ago with a full second station and a Honda 350 on the back.

Find it at Slip C-310, Pier 66. The East Cape team will be on site all show. Come walk the boat, meet the crew, and talk boats.

Kingston Grey and Matterhorn White on a side-console 17 EVO, staying in Central Florida as an owner's second East Cape.

Kingston Grey on the hull and side console, Matterhorn White on the deck, cockpit, and non-skid, with a black rub rail and black rod rings. The side console keeps the cockpit open and the helm out of the way of the push pole, with a Medium Grey wrapped wheel.

A 60 in black with a three-blade stainless prop on an Atlas Micro jackplate with the switch on the throttle, and Baystar hydraulic steering. A 9-inch NSS Evo3S with a 3-in-1 transducer at the helm, a hand-control on a port bow mount with 24-volt lithium power, and a black 6-foot .Pole on the port side. A flush pull-up Accon cleat on the bow.

Brushed poling platform with platform tubes and a cup holder, Light Grey pleated vinyl with black piping on magnetic mounts, Light Grey , and a Diamondback aluminum trailer with a swing tongue.

Thank you for trusting East Cape with your skiff — again.

The first 17 EVO X Lite to leave the shop is already in Texas, running in under four inches of water and catching fish.

This is number one. A carbon layup in Whisper Grey with graphite Gator Glide on the bottom, six inches up from the chine, so it slides over mud and shell instead of sticking. Nothing on the deck but what it needs: no console, no livewell, a folding cleat in each corner, and the switches tucked under the aft deck.

A Tohatsu 60/40 jet on a 20-inch transom, tiller steered, which is how it runs where a prop can't. A Terrova on a black port-nose mount with lithium power, and a black 4-foot .Pole off the port side.

Gloss black powder coat on a half-and-half poling platform and an 18-inch casting platform, Medium Grey , nylon spools on deck, and a SKANU push pole. The owner added neon flex along the inside gunnels, a light bar under the casting platform, and a spreader light facing aft for the night runs.

Thank you for trusting East Cape with your skiff, and for being first.
