Research 2020 - Everglades Boats - 243cc

The Everglades 243cc is the industry leader in the bay boat market, and has been since its debut. Add an optional GPS-enabled trolling motor and you'll never need to anchor again. Optional jackplate and lifting platforms allow you to get into those shallow spots that most boats this size don't dare.

By adding the optional, patent-pending upper station to your standard-equipment hardtop you'll spot fish you never even knew were there.
