2017 Everglades 355 CC

This is a 355 CC set up to do it all. Run offshore before dawn with the tower up, outriggers out, and both live wells full, and she is a serious offshore and reef boat with the range, the electronics, and the rigging to fish hard and get home. The tuna tower and joystick let one or two people work a spread and put baits where they belong.

Come Saturday she changes character in minutes. Drop the bow table flush and lay in the cushions for a sun pad at the sandbar, raise it for lunch on the hook, or clear it off for a casting deck. The freshwater shower rinses the salt off, the head and berth give the family somewhere to go, and the twin boarding doors make getting in and out of the water easy for kids and swimmers.

And when you just want to run, 900 horsepower on a dry-riding deep-V and 411 gallons of fuel make a long run out into the Gulf of America or across to the Bahamas an easy day. Fold the tower down and she tucks under a covered slip or a lift, which is how she has stayed in the condition she is in.

2017 Everglades 355 CC — Description

Triple 2016 Yamaha F300 four strokes with just 236 hours, 236 / 235 / 235 across the three engines. Located in LaBelle, Florida, stored in covered storage under a grey cover, with no bottom paint. Awlcraft six-part topsides in Mid Atlantic Blue over RAMCAP composite, no-wood-core construction.

Boarding is through a full port-side door or the transom walkthrough to the swim platform, with a four-step telescoping ladder. The cockpit has two fold-flush aft bench seats, a lighted transom livewell, an insulated fish box, and a prepped bait box. The work station aft of the helm holds seven tackle drawers plus a storage compartment with removable trays and lockable latches, a recirculating rigging baitwell (the second of two live wells), and a fresh/raw water sink with a pull-out sprayer that doubles as a shower. A fold-flush jump seat doubles as the step to the tower.

The lower helm carries twin Garmin ECHOMAP Ultra 2 16" displays, Garmin xHD2 open array radar, Garmin GHC 20 autopilot, Garmin VHF 200, and a Fusion MS-UD750 stereo through JL Audio speakers. Controls include the Yamaha Helm Master joystick and a power-actuated windshield. Seating is twin helm buckets with flip-up bolsters, with a 94-quart Yeti in a slide-out seat-base compartment.

Retractable aluminum outriggers, xHD2 radar, and a remote searchlight mount below. The tower folds in two sections with a factory cradle; bridge clearance is 8'10" folded, 16'6" standing.
