Start for freeUnveiling the Everglades 285
On a beautiful morning at New Smyrna Beach, we met with Stan from Everglades Boats to explore their latest marvel, the Everglades 285. This model is a recent addition to their acclaimed 5 series, and we were eager to see how it stacked up against its predecessors.
Design and Build Quality
The Everglades 285 boasts an impressive array of features right from its built-in handrails to its robust hard top, which shows no signs of movement even under stress. The boat includes standard Dem Lux Outriggers and rocket launchers, with options for matching powder coat finishes. One notable design feature is the life jacket bag that offers both safety and convenience by utilizing space that would otherwise be wasted.
Versatility at Its Core
Stan walked us through some of the standout features of the 285. The multi-functional table in the bow can serve as a floor filler, a casting platform, or a conventional table, showcasing the boat's adaptability. Storage solutions are cleverly integrated throughout the vessel ensuring that every inch of space is utilized effectively.
Comfort and Amenities
The comfort onboard the Everglades 285 is exemplary. With amenities like USB ports and drink holders accessible from almost every seating position, it ensures a comfortable ride whether you're fishing or simply cruising. The sun shade adds another layer of comfort on sunny days out on the water.
Advanced Technology and Safety Features
The boat features digital switching controls which simplify operation while maintaining reliability through redundant systems. The inclusion of twin Garmin 18-inch displays as standard equipment underscores Everglade's commitment to integrating cutting-edge technology in their boats.
Fishing and Lifestyle Flexibility
The swivel seat at the helm exemplifies flexibility; it can be rotated to face aft for socializing or watching activities in the water behind the boat. This feature alone transforms the cockpit area from a control center to an inviting lounge space with minimal effort.
For anglers, there are ample provisions including spacious fish boxes, rod holders, and live wells that double as storage spaces when not in use. The side door integrates seamlessly with robust hardware allowing easy access without compromising on space or comfort inside the boat.
Performance Insights
The twin 300 Yamaha engines provide powerful propulsion ensuring that this model can handle both calm seas and challenging waters adeptly. Stan shared that initial tests indicate promising performance metrics with speeds reaching up to nearly 60 miles per hour under certain conditions.
Final Thoughts
The walkthrough with Stan not only highlighted the functional aspects but also showcased how thoughtful design could enhance user experience significantly. From fishing expeditions to leisurely cruises with family, this boat promises versatility without compromising on luxury or performance.
The official release was timed perfectly with our visit giving potential buyers immediate access to detailed information about this model through their website or local dealerships set for display at upcoming boating shows like Fort Lauderdale this year.
