Step aboard the Everglades 253CC, a boat that's a true dream for both the avid angler and the family looking for a day of fun on the water. This vessel is built for versatility and has a design that is perfect for coastal adventures. Whether you're heading out to cast a line or just cruising to a sandbar, the 253CC is your perfect companion.

The dual personality of this boat is a standout feature, blending offshore capabilities with inshore maneuverability to handle a wide range of activities. You'll find plenty of space with its 91-square-foot cockpit, allowing you and your friends to move around with ease. The boat is equipped with an 87-quart built-in cooler for keeping drinks and snacks cold, along with a 26-gallon circulating livewell to keep your bait fresh for a day of fishing.

The stern seating folds down, converting into a casting platform when it's time to get serious about fishing. And when you're ready to switch gears, the boat's design, including a ski pylon on the hardtop, makes it ready for tow sports. The helm is a true marvel with its patented hydraulic sliding windshield and intelligent wiper system, making for an enjoyable and comfortable ride no matter what the day brings. You'll find yourself making memories with friends and family, whether you're relaxing on the bow seats with removable backrests or just enjoying the ride.
