2026 Everglades 253 Center Console

The 2026 Everglades 253 Center Console is a 24.75-foot center console powered by a single Mercury V10 425HP outboard with electric power steering. Built on Everglades' RAMCAP® construction, the hull is fully foam-filled and unsinkable, featuring a variable deadrise deep-V design engineered for a smooth, dry ride in both offshore and inshore conditions. A SeaKeeper Ride attitude control system enhances stability and comfort across all sea states.

The helm is outfitted with dual Garmin GPSMAP displays integrated with VHF, digital switching, a stainless steel steering wheel, and a Sport Station upper helm with additional display and controls. Navigation and visibility are prioritized throughout. Comfort features include cushioned bow seating with removable backrests, forward console seating, and stern seating convertible to a casting platform. An optional bow filler cushion enables sun pad configuration. Freshwater and raw water washdown systems service the deck.

Fishing-focused design includes a spacious cockpit with 360-degree fishability, insulated livewell with lighting and clear lid, large forward fish box with macerator, under-gunnel rod storage, and multiple rod holders. A Power Pole enables precision anchoring, and the boat is prepped for a jack plate and trolling motor. Under-gunnel and throughout-the-boat storage keeps gear organized.

Technology and atmosphere round out the package: dual Garmin electronics with VHF integration, a premium audio system with amplifier and subwoofer, LED cockpit and courtesy lighting, and RGB underwater lighting. The hardtop features spreader lights and is powder-coated aluminum over a molded non-skid deck. Heavy-duty stainless steel hardware, an Ice Blue gelcoat hull, and no wood construction throughout ensure durability and long-term reliability.
