2014 Everglades 243 CC

Slide behind the wheel of this 243 and you instantly feel the Everglades difference: heavy, solid, and confidence-inspiring, yet still nimble enough to poke into the skinniest water. The deep, secure cockpit and substantial freeboard give you offshore peace of mind, while the wide bow and stern decks make it easy to work lines, cast, or just stretch out in the sun. Clever touches stand out everywhere—from abundant in-deck storage to well-placed rod holders and a helm layout that keeps everything within easy reach. It’s the kind of bay boat that feels equally at home easing along a grass flat or running through a late-afternoon chop back to the dock with the crew comfortable and dry.

This 243 CC shines where waters change quickly—from shallow back bays to open, choppy channels. The hull design offers a soft, dry ride when the breeze pipes up, but the draft stays friendly enough for creeping along the edges of flats and bars. Anglers will appreciate how easily it transitions from stalking inshore species to chasing birds and bait just outside the inlet. Families and guests benefit from the secure seating, generous shade from a substantial T-top, and easy boarding at the sandbar. For boaters who split their time between fishing, cruising, and relaxed raft-ups, this model hits a sweet spot that suits the local mix of calm coves and exposed stretches.
