2008 Everglades 243 CC

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the wide beam and clever layout make this 24-footer feel bigger than the specs suggest. The forward seating converts effortlessly from casting deck to lounge space, and the elevated helm gives you a clear view when running channels or spotting weed lines. Storage is everywhere—under-seat boxes, in-deck fish boxes, and dedicated rod space keep the deck clean when the bite turns on. The hardtop offers welcome shade and solid handholds when the breeze kicks up, and high freeboard keeps crew comfortable and dry. It’s the kind of boat that can sneak into skinny water at first light, then comfortably hop outside the inlet when conditions allow.

This 243 CC shines where sandbars, shallow bays, and open swells all sit within a short run. Its draft lets you ease across flats and into tucked-away coves, yet the deep, confident hull handles afternoon chop that sends smaller skiffs home early. The roomy cockpit and smart seating layout make it just as happy hosting a family beach day as it is running offshore for a quick troll or drift. With plenty of shade, secure handholds, and abundant storage for gear, snorkel sets, and coolers, it’s tailor-made for a full day on the water in a place where conditions and plans can change with the tide.
