There has been a lot of media and questions about the EastCape Evo 17x so figured i’d take some on the water photos and stuff. Proud owner of the first production model of the new 17x! Fish mainly the floodtides and winter lows here in NE FL and was looking for something a little bit more geared towards that..my last skiff (EC Fury) was great but was looking to get something a little smaller and lighter. EC knocked it out of the park, every time I get on the boat I am more happy with it. I’ve had about 11hrs on the boat so far so still have a lot to dial in.
