Everglades 253cc: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Everglades 253CC is a hybrid center console boat that combines the deep V hull design typical of offshore center consoles with the low freeboard and shallow water capabilities of a bay boat. This versatile 26-foot 10-inch vessel is designed to deliver both offshore performance and inshore functionality, reflecting Everglades' commitment to meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The aft casting deck measures 6 feet 4 inches wide and 3 feet 5 inches fore and aft at its widest point, featuring a non-skid surface for safety. The cockpit spans 7 feet 3 inches wide by 2 feet 10 inches fore and aft, equipped with aft jump seats inspired by outdoor furniture design. These seats have bottoms that push forward when the backrests are raised, and the backrests latch securely to prevent movement while underway. Between the seats, a cooler hatch opens on a tension hinge, eliminating the need for gas struts. The cooler's drain hose and all ten combination cup and rod holders are double clamped with rubber-capped clamps, ensuring all drainage is directed overboard rather than into the bilge. Four JL Audio speakers are positioned in each cockpit corner, complemented by raw water and fresh water flush systems on port and starboard sides respectively. The battery charger plug and undergunnel rod storage are conveniently located forward on the port side. The entire aft seat assembly lifts on stainless steel gas struts for easy maintenance access, revealing a bilge finished to the same high standard as the boat's exterior. Batteries are positioned outboard with bilge pumps easily accessible on the hull bottom. Electrical connections are clearly labeled, use waterproof Deutsch connectors, and all hardware is torqued to specification. Additional access to the electrical panel is provided via removable Allen head bolts.
Bridge and Helm Features
The stern includes an optional 8-foot Power-Pole on the starboard side and a swim platform with a well-placed grab handle and a two-step ladder extending two feet below the waterline on the port side. The standard fiberglass hardtop integrates four rocket launcher-style rod holders, an elevated tow point, integrated spreader lights, and red, white, and blue courtesy lighting alongside two JL Audio speakers. Zippered storage for life jackets and soft gear is located forward under the hardtop. The frame is integrated into the helm console, creating a clean aesthetic and wider passageways. The leaning post features a rear rack for hooks, cup holders on each side, and a 26-gallon live well centrally positioned with openings for portable coolers on either side. Dedicated tackle box slots are located forward on each side. The helm seats are individual 18-inch wide units with fold-up armrests and contoured bolsters that provide comfortable leaning support when folded up. An anti-fatigue mat covers the deck underfoot, and the console is positioned far enough forward to allow ample standing space for both captain and companion.
Innovative Windshield and Electronics
A standout feature is Everglades' patented curved power windshield, which hydraulically raises and lowers at the push of a button. This allows the captain to reduce glare at night without leaving the helm position. The windshield wiper includes an integrated freshwater wash system. The helm layout includes a stainless steel steering wheel aligned with a compass, flanked by Bocatech accessory switches and a Yamaha CL7 display. The test boat was equipped with optional 16-inch Garmin multifunction displays. Controls for the Power-Pole, autopilot, VHF microphone, battery switches, ignition, digital Yamaha controls, and trim tabs with integrated position indicators are logically arranged around the helm. Overhead in the hardtop are controls for the Fusion stereo, Optimus power steering, VHF head, and courtesy lighting.
Interior Living and Amenities
The port side console houses a private head compartment accessible via a ventilated hatch. This compartment offers five feet of standing headroom and 3 feet 6 inches of vertical clearance above the port-a-potty. It is equipped with a light and an opening port for ventilation. Two large hatches provide access to helm rigging, and additional storage is available beneath a locker secured by a pair of nuts.
Bow Features and Storage
Forward in the bow, a JL Audio subwoofer is installed in the starboard gunwale, with tilt-in lockers providing ample storage. The 36-inch wide seat at the front of the console opens on a stainless steel gas strut to reveal an 86-quart cooler sealed with a thick rubber gasket. The bow deck includes an insulated draining fish box with matching hardware. Bow lounges measure 4 feet 1 inch in length and feature removable backrests, powder-coated rails, and bolsters running the length of the bow. Eight cup holders are distributed throughout the bow area, with USB ports integrated into the gunwales on each side. Beneath the bow seats are large insulated draining storage boxes illuminated by refrigerator-style lights. The foredeck houses a Lumar windlass beneath a large hatch, with a stainless steel anchor deploying through the bow. The anchor locker contains an 8-inch cleat, a chain stopper, and access to the rode compartment. Non-skid surfaces cover the entire foredeck, which also features 8-inch pull-up cleats combined with cup holders and integrated rod holders. LED navigation lights are mounted forward, with docking lights installed in the hull on each side.
Power and Performance
The Everglades 253CC measures 26 feet 10 inches overall with a beam of 8 feet 6 inches and a draft of 2 feet 4 inches. The vessel's empty weight is 5,250 pounds, with a test weight estimated at 6,550 pounds including 60 gallons of fuel and two people on board. Powered by a single 300-horsepower Yamaha four-stroke outboard driving a 15.5 by 16-inch Saltwater Series II three-blade stainless steel propeller, the boat achieved a top speed of 42.6 miles per hour at 5,650 RPM. The most economical cruise occurred at 3,500 RPM and 19.8 miles per hour, consuming 8.5 gallons per hour and yielding 2.3 miles per gallon with a range of 203 miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve from the 100-gallon total capacity. At lower RPMs, the boat demonstrated efficient trolling speeds and fuel economy, with 3 miles per hour at 600 RPM achieving 5 miles per gallon, 4.7 miles per hour at 1,000 RPM with 3.9 miles per gallon, and 6.7 miles per hour at 1,500 RPM with 3.3 miles per gallon. Acceleration tests showed a time to plane of 3.8 seconds, 0 to 20 miles per hour in 5.8 seconds, and 0 to 30 miles per hour in 10.2 seconds. Despite 15-knot gusting winds and rolling chop during testing, the 253CC maintained a solid, stable ride, handling turns with precision and agility.
Conclusion
The Everglades 253CC offers a unique blend of offshore capability and shallow water versatility, enhanced by thoughtful design details and premium features such as the patented power windshield and high-quality audio systems. Its spacious and well-appointed deck layout, combined with efficient power and solid handling, make it a compelling choice for families and anglers seeking a comfortable and capable boat for a variety of water conditions.
