2026 Everglades 253 Center Console

The 2026 Everglades 253 Center Console is a 24-foot center console built on Everglades' RAMCAP® construction, a fully foam-filled unsinkable hull paired with a variable deadrise deep-V design for a smooth, dry ride in both offshore and inshore conditions. Power comes from a Mercury V10 425HP outboard with electric power steering, and the boat features a SeaKeeper Ride attitude control system for enhanced stability and comfort.

The helm is equipped with dual Garmin GPSMAP displays integrated with VHF, digital switching, and a stainless steel steering wheel. An upper Sport Station helm with sliding sunroof provides additional controls and visibility. Navigation and onboard systems include a windlass anchor system, Power Pole for precision anchoring, and jack plate with trolling motor prep for shallow water operation. Premium audio includes a subwoofer and amplifier, while lighting encompasses LED cockpit and courtesy lights, RGB underwater lighting, hardtop lighting, and spreader lights.

The cockpit is designed for fishing with 360-degree access, an insulated livewell with lighting and clear lid, a large forward fish box with macerator, under-gunnel rod storage, rod holders, and a built-in cooler throughout. Seating includes cushioned bow seating with removable backrests, forward console seating, and stern seating that converts to a casting platform, with an optional bow filler cushion for sun pad conversion. Foam mat flooring adds comfort underfoot, and both freshwater and raw water washdown systems are included.

The boat features an Ice Blue gelcoat hull with heavy-duty stainless steel hardware throughout, molded non-skid deck surfaces, and a powder-coated aluminum hardtop and framework. The hull is fully foam-filled with no wood construction, emphasizing long-term durability and reliability.
