2026 East Cape Evo 17X

The 2026 East Cape Evo 17X is a fiberglass flats boat built for shallow-water performance and rough-water capability. Powered by a single 90 hp Suzuki engine, this 17.75-foot skiff combines a shallow draft with a hull design engineered to handle challenging conditions while maintaining speed and control. The boat features East Cape's signature built-in spray rail system, designed to shed water and keep the deck dry during operation.

The Evo 17X is configured for fishing versatility, with flexible platform options to suit different angling approaches—whether poling the shallows, sight-casting from a platform, or positioning a trolling motor to match your technique. The boat accommodates the gear and crew needed for serious flats fishing, from backcountry pursuit of tarpon and redfish to bonefish in tight waters.

Construction quality reflects East Cape's attention to detail and durability standards. The advanced hull design delivers performance on plane while maintaining the shallow-draft characteristics essential for flats navigation, all within a compact, maneuverable footprint.
