Happy Labor Day from the East Cape family.

Boats don't build themselves. To the crew that lays the glass, rigs it, welds it, and finishes it — thank you.

To everyone out on the water this weekend: enjoy it and get home safe.

Boat number three. This 21 EVO joins a 25 Open and an 18 EVO in the same garage.

Aquamist top to bottom — hull, deck, console, cockpit, and lean post — with an all-black interior, Stinger Cream vinyl with black stitching, black texture powder coat, and a black rub rail with a stainless insert.

A 225 V6 DTS on a Sea Star 12-inch jackplate with Dometic electronic steering and C Zone digital switching. A NSO evo3S 19-inch system running an S3100H sonar module, ActiveImaging HD, and an Airmar B175 chirp transducer. A 72-inch .Pole Move on the port bow off 36V lithium, twin 1100 GPH aft livewells with Ho**er overflows and Gemlux fills, Spectrum lighting under the gunnels and underwater, a port-side swim platform, a Fusion Apollo stereo with JL Audio M6s and a 600-watt amp, and a hard-mounted 35.

Custom folding spool rod racks that clear room for spear gun mounts, and a light bar off the trolling motor plate that points down. That tells you how this one is going to get used.

Three boats in, and this one still got built from scratch around how he fishes. That's the whole job.

Thank you for trusting East Cape with your boat — three times now.

Kevin walks the VHP — and the first thing he gets into is the casting platform.

It's a hatch casting platform braced with a turnbuckle, so the deck you're standing on is the same hatch that's storing your gear. It's the kind of detail that makes no sense in a photo and obvious sense the second someone shows you.

Behind that: a Go Fast poling platform in brushed finish, Anchor over Black brushed decking with a pinline carried across the cockpit, the casting platform, and the poling platform, and a removable two-step boarding ladder to starboard with a folding backrest and step.

Power is a Pro XS 115 Command Thrust on a Bob's 4-inch jackplate with SeaStar steering and a stainless three-blade. A black .Pole Move on the port bow off 36V in the console, a black 6-foot .Pole anchor to port, and a NSS Evo 3S 9-inch with 3-in-1 transducer flush in the jumpseat console.

Ice Blue over Matterhorn White, black rub rail, satin black powder coat on the wheel, white vinyl with white top stitching. Tallahassee bound on an aluminum trailer with a swing tongue.

Thank you for trusting East Cape with your skiff.

A 17 EVOx rigged around LiveScope. Kevin walks this one before it heads to Pine Island.

The whole bow is built for it: a Force Kraken on a starboard nose mount, LiveScope running in Perspective mode off the trolling motor, and an ECHOMAP Ultra 2 12-inch flush in the console with a IS35 gauge alongside it. We ran NMEA to the bow and left an access hatch in the bulkhead so every bow component could be through-bolted properly.

The aft compartment got cut out completely — no livewell. This one is built to find fish, not hold them.

Underneath it: Guide Green over Matterhorn White, a 60 in black on an Atlas Micro jackplate, Baystar steering, and a stainless three-blade. Marine decking in Anchor Grey through the cockpit and across a 40-inch brushed poling platform with a front step, nylon rod spools, black rub rail, and Light Grey Simtex with black stitching. Riding on a trailer with a swing tongue.

Thank you for trusting East Cape with your skiff.

Ice Blue over Matterhorn White. This VHP is Tallahassee bound.

A Pro XS 115 Command Thrust on a Bob's 4-inch jackplate, SeaStar steering, and a stainless three-blade. A black .Pole Move on the port bow running 36V out of the console, a black 6-foot .Pole anchor to port, and a NSS Evo 3S 9-inch with 3-in-1 transducer flush in a jumpseat console.

Go Fast poling platform in brushed finish, a hatch casting platform with a turnbuckle, and Anchor over Black brushed decking with a pinline across the cockpit, casting platform, and poling platform. Black rub rail, satin black powder coat on the wheel, white vinyl with white top stitching, a folding backrest with a step, and a removable two-step boarding ladder to starboard.

Set up to run to the spot and then pole it all day. Riding on an aluminum trailer with a swing tongue.

Thank you for trusting East Cape with your skiff.

Guide Green over Matterhorn White, and this 17 EVOx is nearly ready to leave for Pine Island.

Guide Green might be the closest thing we have to a classic. It has looked right on every skiff we've ever laid it on, and it looks right on this one.

Rigged for a fish-finder: a Force Kraken on a starboard nose mount with LiveScope in Perspective mode, an ECHOMAP Ultra 2 12-inch flush in the console, and a IS35 gauge. A 60 in black on an Atlas Micro jackplate, Baystar steering, and a stainless three-blade.

The aft compartment got cut out completely — no livewell on this one. Marine decking in Anchor Grey on the cockpit and the poling platform, a 40-inch brushed platform with a front step, a 36-inch lean bar, nylon rod spools, black rub rail, and Light Grey Simtex with black stitching. Riding on a trailer with a swing tongue.

Thank you for trusting East Cape with your skiff.

The first flats version of the 21 EVO, with the deck extensions. Kevin walks it.

This is the one we've been building toward on the 21 — fixed deck extensions fore and aft that open the casting platforms up and turn a bay boat into something that fishes skinny like a skiff. Kevin gets into what changed and why.

Medium Grey over Whisper Grey, running a 225 V6 in Cold Fusion White on a Sea Star 12-inch jackplate. Two white 6-foot .Pole anchors, a .Pole Move on a starboard guide mount off 36V lithium in the console, and a NSS12 Evo3S with 3-in-1 transducer and weather in a flush-mount skiff-style console.

Poling platform built to full clearance, in Medium Grey over Light Grey across the casting decks, platform, and under-gunnels, brushed metal throughout, aluminum rub rail, and an aluminum trailer with a stainless axle.

First one out the door, and it's Alabama bound.

Thank you for trusting East Cape with your boat.

Medium Grey over Whisper Grey, and this 21 EVO is Alabama bound.

Clean, quiet, and rigged to fish: a 225 V6 in Cold Fusion White on a Sea Star 12-inch jackplate, a pair of white 6-foot .Pole anchors, and a .Pole Move on a starboard guide mount running off 36V lithium in the console. A NSS12 Evo3S with 3-in-1 transducer and weather sits in a flush-mount skiff-style console.

in Medium Grey over Light Grey with a pinline runs the casting decks, the poling platform, and the under-gunnels. Poling platform built to full clearance with a 35-inch U-shape lean bar, brushed metal throughout, aluminum rub rail, blue under-gunnel lighting, and Light Grey Simtex cushions. Riding on a trailer with a stainless axle.

The grey-on-grey builds always photograph like this in person.
