I hesitated to start a build thread, but decided I wanted to throw some love East Cape's way...

I have a few pics, but am going to hold off posting any for now - don't want to post anything that gives away too much "top secret" intel... But the hull and deck have both been infused and have popped from the molds. I will post some pics soon, but here are the build details:

2018 East Cape Evo X w/ Yamaha F70 - gray hull and console, REALLY light blue deck (lighter than ice blue)
Atlas Micro Jacker with blinker switch
Ram-Lin aluminum trailer with removable tongue
Jump Seat flush mount center console
Brushed aluminum poling platform and permanent mount casting platform
Brushed aluminum rub rail
Backrest with step up to poling platform
Minn Kota 12 V 55 lb Terrova, offset (starboard Guide mount) with Battery Tender plug
Raw water washdown (I do a lot of wading and I have dogs)
3 forward facing and 1 rear facing under gunnel rod tubes per side
3 rod rack with tool caddy on starboard side of console
One horizontal rod holder underneath poling platform, offset 10 degrees
Simrad Go 7 w/ Totalscan transducer
Power Pole micro mounted to port side of poling platform
2 Wet Sounds speakers in front bulkhead (amp under console)
Brushed gray Sea Dek under gunnels, on both platforms, and helm pad
Gray cushions
LED lights in all compartments except livewell
Under gunnel LED lights
Green V Marine push pole caddy, pole clips, and steering wheel insert
4 cup holders (2 on console and one on each platform)
23' Carbon Marine GLR3 push pole

I may be missing something, but I'll update if I remember anything. Pics to come soon...

Happy wife - her first speckled trout, first flounder, and first red for a North Carolina inshore slam. Ended up with about 20 trout, 3 reds, and 2 flounder. They weren't big, but they count!

Can't say enough good stuff about the boat. Today was pretty snotty, and it handled it so well.

Kudos to Kevin for just saying “Yamaha” in the Instagram video of your boat without adding ”die-hard”.

Try a Powertech SCD3R16P that should work nicely for your set up.

Did you ask for Dutton Laison winch and jack?

Looks great!
I didn't ask for them - I really don't know much about them, but they are definitely nicer than other winches and jacks I've had.

I will look into that prop, although I may need less pitch as the 16 pitch currently is only getting 5100 RPM when I play with the trim tabs, jack plate, and motor trim.

If you didn't ask for them, then RamLin must have disco'd Fulton because I saw the same jack on a new Marquesa trailer on Friday.

That's really low rpm's. Considering HB ships out new Pro's with Powertech SCD3R15PYM90 propellors I would think your EVO could take an inch more pitch because its chine width is wider, doesn't have sponsons, and you have a jack plate to raise the engine to ideal height.

I get 5900-6000 with my SCD 3 blade 16 pitch, and hit the 6300 rev limit with my SCD 4 blade 14 pitch. Both of those props are for sale, and I plan to buy a 3 blade 15 pitch. (I had an SCD 5 blade in 15 pitch that wouldn't spin paste 5200)
