The Everglades brand is a spin off from the Boston Whaler manufacturer. Bob Doughetry, founder of the Everglades boats, joined Boston Whaler in 1960. In 2001, after forty years with the company, he decided to branch off on his own and Everglades company was born. Since that time, the expertise which won Bob Doughetry the Marine Manufacturers Innovation award has been used in every Everglades boat for sale. Should you wish to purchase an Everglade boat, here is a quick Everglades Boat Review to help you get started.
RAMCAP Hulls
The hulls of the Everglades boats are made with a Rapid Core Assembly Process (RAMCAP). This process makes for a stronger boat. Firstly, the structural foam is made for the boat. This foam is then built into the hull, rather than using the injection method. It was the thought of the company that by using precise foam placement, a higher quality and control to the insulation could be accomplished than from “blindly injecting” foam.
Intelligent by Design
This is the slogan behind the Everglades boats for sale. The factory builds all the boats without a compromise to material or the process to build them. The Everglades boats are constructed to be unsinkable by using the RAMCAP process as well as having a Variable dead rise Deep V-hull, Self-bailing cockpits, using high density PVC composite on the transom, 316-L stainless steel hydraulic tilt steering wheels, and circulating live well with lights, just to name a few features.
All boats made by Everglades are NMMA, ABYC and CE Certified.
When it comes to the innovation and integration of such features into the Everglades boats for sale, the company has use fiberglass hardtops with aluminum coated frames, made console powered ports, added recessed cockpit drains, and made dive utility doors to open in (thus not hindered by docks and ports). Of course, depending on the model and the packaging you may find more or less of these features in place.
Models
For a company which has only been around for a decade, there is quite a few boats available. The models currently offered are:
You will note that all of the boats are center console. This could be attributed to the Boston Whaler brand which primarily focuses on such as well. Keep in mind that the company’s CEO was with Boston Whaler for 40 years, so much of the features in that brand is transitioned into the Everglades boats. However, there are a few differences between the aesthetics and the design. To find out more about these differences, please review the manufacturer’s summary pages.
Where is the best place to use an Everglades boat for sale?
Everglades boats are made for the angler. Rod holders, fish wells, perforated bait boxes, and Yeti coolers are all part of the design. Powering the boat (depending on the size and model) are dual or tri Yamaha 300s. Because of this the boat is suited for offshore fishing. However, because the boats do not exceed the 40’ mark apart from the 435 Center Console, you may be able to use the boat on lakes and ponds without an issue. Potential buyers should note the deep v-hull design when using the boat in shallow water as there could be scrubbing and issues with launching. For the best experience use the Everglades boats in the Atlantic and Gulf offshore waters.
If using the boat in the keys, consider a secondary anchoring system as well as updated terrain navigation screens to minimize drifting and/or scrubbing.
