2023 East Cape 18 EVO X

2023 East Cape Evo X - Suzuki 60 - Simrad - Lithium Trolling Motor - Ram-Lin Trailer

This one-owner 2023 East Cape Evo X is a beautifully rigged technical poling skiff with under 50 hours on the Suzuki 60HP four-stroke.

Location: Oak Hill, Florida
Listing Price: $53,900

Originally purchased new in April 2023 and lightly used in Northwest Florida, the boat presents very nicely and remains a clean, lightly-run example of one of East Cape's most respected shallow-water platforms.

The 18 Evo X is known for its quiet hull design, exceptional poling characteristics, and extremely shallow draft, making it a favorite for anglers targeting redfish, snook, and tarpon in skinny water.

This particular boat features a side console layout, which opens up the cockpit and allows anglers to move freely along the centerline of the boat - a layout many technical anglers strongly prefer.
