2026 Everglades 285 Center Console

The 2026 Everglades 285 Center Console is a 28-foot offshore center console built with the brand's signature RAMCAP® construction—a fully foam-filled hull that provides unsinkable safety and enhanced durability. The variable deadrise deep-V design delivers a stable, dry ride in rough conditions. Single outboard power drives the boat, supported by a Garmin digital switching system with touchscreen control and dual GPSMAP displays with VHF integration. A hardtop with full glass windshield and wiper system provides weather protection and visibility across the helm.

The cockpit prioritizes fishing functionality with 360-degree access, an insulated livewell with lighting and clear lid, and large forward and aft insulated fish boxes equipped with macerators. Multiple stainless steel rod holders and storage racks line the boat, with additional rod storage at the helm rigging station. Raw and freshwater washdown systems keep the deck clean. A SeaKeeper Ride attitude control system enhances comfort underway.

Accommodations balance serious fishing with family cruising. Cushioned bow seating converts to a sun pad with removable table, while a forward console lounge provides insulated storage. Rotating dual helm seats offer mezzanine-style seating for additional guests. Integrated swim platforms with ladder allow easy water access. Premium JL Audio with amplifier and subwoofer, LED cockpit lighting, RGB underwater lighting, and hardtop spreader lights complete the onboard system.

Construction throughout emphasizes durability: heavy-duty stainless steel hardware, molded non-skid decking, and no wood components ensure long-term reliability. An electric windlass with stainless steel anchor and side utility door with boarding access round out the package. The hull wears a Whisper Gray gelcoat with matching hardtop underside.
