2024 Everglades 253 Center Console

The 2024 Everglades 253 Center Console is a 24.75-foot fiberglass center console powered by a single Mercury 400 V10 outboard engine. Built on Everglades' RAMCAP® construction, the hull combines unsinkable foam-filled structure with a deep-V design that handles offshore conditions while maintaining shallow-water capability. The boat features a factory dual-station tower that provides elevated sightlines for sight fishing and coastal work, paired with a hydraulic jack plate and trim tabs for performance optimization.

The layout emphasizes fishing functionality across a 91-square-foot cockpit with minimal clutter. Forward-facing bow seating includes detachable backrests and locks into cushioned rod storage underneath. The aft features foldaway stern seats flanking insulated storage, with an expansive casting deck when seats are stowed. Integrated storage throughout includes a 26-gallon livewell, 69-gallon in-floor insulated fishbox, 87-quart cooler beneath the forward console, gunwale rod storage on both sides, and two gear holders under the helm seat.

Onboard amenities include an enclosed head compartment with changing room, trim tabs, a Minn Kota Ulterra i-Pilot trolling motor, a 10-foot Power-Pole Blade anchor system, and an autopilot. Electronics feature a Fusion Marine head unit with Bluetooth and a JL Audio premium sound system with integrated amplifiers and speakers. The engine carries a Mercury warranty through October 2027 and shows 350.14 hours of use.
