2026 Everglades 253 Center Console

The 2026 Everglades 253 Center Console is a 24.75-foot center console built on Everglades' RAMCAP® fully foam-filled hull construction, which provides unsinkable flotation and structural integrity. The variable deadrise deep-V design delivers a smooth, dry ride in both offshore and inshore conditions. Power comes from a Mercury V10 425HP outboard with electric power steering, paired with a SeaKeeper Ride attitude control system and dual Garmin GPSMAP displays for advanced navigation.

The helm features a clean, intuitive layout with dual displays, VHF integration, and a stainless steel steering wheel. A Sport Station upper helm includes additional controls and a sliding windshield with integrated wiper. Digital switching keeps the design uncluttered, while a windlass anchor system and jack plate with trolling motor prep enable versatility in shallow water. The boat also includes a Power Pole for precision anchoring.

The 253 is purpose-built for fishing with a spacious cockpit offering 360-degree fishability. Storage solutions include an insulated livewell with lighting and clear lid, a large forward fish box with macerator, and under-gunnel rod storage with rod holders. Cushioned bow seating has removable backrests, forward console seating provides additional lounging, and the stern seating converts to a casting platform. The layout transitions easily from fishing to family cruising, with an optional bow filler cushion available for sun pad conversion.

The boat features foam mat flooring, freshwater and raw water washdown systems, a built-in cooler, and ample additional storage throughout. Premium audio includes an amplifier and subwoofer, while lighting encompasses LED cockpit and courtesy fixtures, RGB underwater lighting, and hardtop spreaders. The hull is finished in Ice Blue gelcoat with matching hardtop underside, and the aluminum hardtop and framework are powder-coated. Throughout, heavy-duty stainless steel hardware and molded non-skid decking reflect the build quality.
