2026 East Cape 18 EVO

The 2026 East Cape 18 EVO is a fiberglass flats boat built for shallow-water performance and rough-water capability. Powered by a single 90-horsepower Suzuki engine, this 17.75-foot skiff combines the shallow-draft design essential for backwater fishing with structural strength that performs above its weight class in choppy conditions. The hull incorporates a built-in spray rail designed to minimize water spray and maintain a dry ride.

The EVO series layout prioritizes fishing versatility. The boat accommodates both poling and casting platforms, with customizable trolling motor positioning to match different fishing techniques and preferences. This flexible design works equally well for tarpon, redfish, and bonefish—or any other fishing style you pursue.

The 18 EVO is constructed with quality materials and advanced hull engineering throughout, emphasizing durability and reliability. Its design delivers strong plane performance and maintains control across varied water conditions, from calm flats to rougher offshore waters. The boat is fully customizable, allowing you to configure equipment and features to suit your specific fishing needs.
