Everglades 243: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Everglades 243CC is a bay boat that skillfully combines performance and comfort, making it one of the most feature-rich vessels in its class. Designed for versatility, it is equally suited for inland waterways, bays, and nearshore coastal waters. The model reviewed is powered by a Honda 225-horsepower four-stroke outboard engine, promising impressive performance and efficiency.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
The bow area of the Everglades 243CC is equipped with low-profile powder-coated rails and pop-up cleats that maintain clean gunwales while underway. An anchor locker with an anchor hanger is integrated for convenience. Optional bow seat pads enhance comfort, with storage compartments beneath the side seats designed to accommodate fishing rods, while a large central locker is available for fenders. Additional tip-out boxes located in front of the side lockers provide space for tackle and small gear. A substantial 75-gallon fish locker is built into the floor at the bow. Forward of the helm, a 94-quart cooler seat with a backrest offers both seating and storage. On the starboard side, there is dedicated net and lifejacket storage, complemented by optional combing pads for added comfort. The windshield is designed to lower, allowing for increased airflow when desired. An optional hardtop includes rod holders, LED lighting, speakers, and an electronics box, enhancing functionality and convenience. Stern seating features flip-up backrests and a centrally located bait well, with battery switches conveniently positioned under the starboard seat. Additionally, an optional swim platform with a ladder is available for easy water access.
Helm and Controls
The helm is thoughtfully designed with hydraulic tilt steering as a standard feature, ensuring responsive handling. The helm seat configuration includes a lighted bait well with a clear lid positioned behind it, providing practical utility for anglers. The layout allows ample space for additional gear and electronics below the Honda gauge cluster, supporting customization and enhanced control.
Power and Performance
The Everglades 243CC is powered by a Honda BF225 four-stroke outboard engine, renowned for its advanced technology and efficiency. This engine shares its design heritage with Honda's automotive powerplants used in models such as the Odyssey, Pilot, and Acura vehicles. It features a two-stage air induction system that draws fresh air from the top and channels it through long intakes to a butterfly valve that opens at 4,000 RPM, optimizing airflow for both low-speed maneuvering and high-speed performance. The engine is equipped with a belt-driven 60-amp alternator, delivering a robust 48 amps at just 1,000 RPM to support onboard electronics reliably. The lower unit contains forward and reverse gears along with an oil pump, while the water pump impeller located above the gear case requires routine maintenance. A lean burn feedback system enhances fuel efficiency, reducing fuel consumption by approximately 20% compared to many competing models. During testing on the Intracoastal Waterways of Miami, Florida, the boat demonstrated optimal cruising at 3,000 RPM and 19.6 mph, achieving a range of 248 miles on a full tank. The top speed reached 42.2 mph at 6,000 RPM, with a range of 146 miles. Acceleration was notable, with a hole shot time of 4.3 seconds and a time to 30 mph of 8 seconds. The propeller used was a 15.25 by 19 with a 1.86:1 gear ratio.
Conclusion
The Everglades 243CC successfully integrates a comprehensive suite of features with strong performance and comfort, living up to the expectations set by the Everglades VEVO series. Its thoughtful design, efficient and powerful Honda engine, and practical fishing amenities make it a compelling choice for anglers and recreational boaters seeking versatility and reliability in a bay boat.
