For anglers, the boat features an aft 36-gallon livewell, a 75-gallon in-floor fish box, 22 rod holders and port and starboard tackle lockers.

Edgewater, Fla.—Everglades Boats, a leading manufacturer of innovative family fishing boats, officially introduced three new boats, to their impressive collection. The 350LX, 320cc and 210cc draw upon Everglades’ impeccable reputation for luxury and functionality for avid anglers and family fishing trips alike.

Everglades 350LX, a cuddy that redefines the term, is a seamless combination of performance, style and comfort like no other boat on the market. The list of amenities and distinctive features is extensive, but most notable is the fact that the 350LX can comfortably sleep six – four in the cabin, and two more on the upper deck, where a dinette table converts to a comfortable sleeping area that can be secured with the weather enclosure for a fully air-conditioned room. The interior includes a full stand-up head with shower; granite countertops; stainless sinks; a fresh- and saltwater sink that doubles as a cutting board to create a flat workstation; stainless microwave with built-in coffee maker; swivel flat-screen television and DVD player; refrigerator; and A/C in the cabin and cockpit. 

Angling amenities abound as well: a huge fish box across the transom, two livewells, rod storage under the gunnels on both sides, storage for 10 rods on the underside of the hard top, and TACO Grand Slam Outriggers.

The 320cc is an ultra-serious fishing boat that can equally accommodate family pleasure boating with luxury and comfort. The 131 square feet of cockpit area provides plenty of walkaround room and storage space that is tucked away throughout.  For anglers, the 320cc is loaded: 8-drawer tackle station with stainless steel sink, three fish boxes, huge livewell, lockable rod storage and the list goes on.  For family cruising, this boat offers a roomy bow seating area with an electric filler table that converts to a padded sun lounge. Furthermore, the 320cc features white powder-coated rails and red LED lights throughout the boat for added safety. The 320cc offers twin Yamaha 350, twin Suzuki 300 and twin Mercury 300 engine options.

Everglades 210cc replaces the 211cc with a fresh new design, utilizing state of the art technology.  It contains as much forward thinking squeezed into 21ft., 7 inches as humanly possible. The 210cc is designed for performance, style, convenience and an efficient use of space. For example, the traditional-style bow roller integrates a removable ladder for easy boarding from the beach.  Once detached the ladder collapses creating additional storage space on board.  Other forward thinking features include a leaning post that converts to a comfortable bench seat, a spacious head with porta-potty, a full sun deck that doubles as a casting platform and ample storage throughout. It comes with single Suzuki, Honda, Mercury or Yamaha engine options.

The 350LX, 320cc and 210cc can be made available for a sea trial. Contact Laura D’Abbondanza at 407-970-4986 to schedule an appointment.
