The 2012 Everglades 243 Center Console is a 24-foot fiberglass center console designed for both bay and offshore fishing. Powered by a single Yamaha 300 hp gasoline engine, it offers the performance needed for offshore work while maintaining the shallow draft required for inshore waters. The boat delivers a soft, dry ride across varying sea conditions.
The layout centers on fishing capability and comfort. Forward seating is cushioned with backrests, while rear fold-down seating provides additional space. The boat includes an aft livewell and large in-floor fish boxes, with tackle storage and multiple rod holders throughout. A leaning post with rod holders sits at the center. The hardtop features spreader lights for improved visibility.
Electronics and systems are comprehensive. Twin Garmin screens, Garmin radar, and a Yamaha digital gauge provide navigation and engine monitoring. A Minn Kota self-deploying trolling motor assists in positioning. The stereo includes a subwoofer and Cannon speakers. VHF radio, raw water and fresh water washdowns, lithium batteries, and a battery charger complete the setup. SeaDek flooring covers the deck, and a console head with storage is integrated into the design. Trim tabs aid handling in various conditions. The boat comes with an aluminum trailer.
