I have not measured it but the whole concept of the EVOx is a super shallow boat with a bit more big water capability, so more freeboard than the other boats in the line up. The poling performance in the wind has been really good. (ask me how I know.....)

I too was concerned about the wind effect on poling given the extra freeboard, but it poles so easy that the wind does not have a noticeable effect.

How much extra is the freeboard compared to a Maverick HPX-S?

I believe it’s quite a bit more freeboard than a Maverick. IMO, the EVOx is a much better boat in chop or beach fishing “on the hook” than a Maverick given the higher freeboard AND still super easy to pole in the skinny.

The hpxs has one of the lowest freeboards of any skiff I can think of. In the filming of silver kings you would often see water coming over the rear deck on Fordyce's boat.

hey what does the stealth1 charging system do? does it allow you to charge trolling motor batteries from your main engine?

I'm not familiar with Stealth1. Minn Kota has one that will charge the trolling motor batteries while running. https://minnkotamotors.johnsonoutdo...57.378227471.1585046338-1466923642.1585046338

Can I get a lowdown on your overall length/width of your skiff on the trailer? I’m doing the same setup with a garage that appears similar with a hot water heater that’s sketching me out!
