Seriously equipped 2005 Everglades 243cc — turnkey offshore and inshore fishing machine ready to go.
I've owned this boat since March 2015 and have put real time and money into making it one of the most capable 24-footers you'll find. The Everglades RAMCAP hull construction is what drew me to the brand — it's thick, solid, and built to last decades. I'm only selling to upgrade to a larger Everglades for my growing family.
The boat has spent most of its life stored indoors in Oakland, FL and Orange Beach, AL. Most of the roughly 700 hours I've personally put on it have been in fresh water on Lake Martin, AL during summer months. Original Certificate of Origin for both the Yamaha outboard and the Magic Tilt trailer is on hand.
KEY FEATURES:
- Removable Cobia tower and ladder — original Everglades equipment, gives you elevated sight-fishing capability for tarpon, cobia, and other big-game species without committing to a permanent installation.
-
- Two Power Pole Blade 2 shallow water anchors (added 2022) — lock down on the flat or anchor up on your favorite island with ease.
-
- Minn Kota Riptide 110 lb thrust saltwater trolling motor with Spot-Lock GPS anchoring — holds position hands-free in wind and current, no extra crew needed.
-
- Magic Tilt trailer rebuilt with Tie Down torsion axles (2019), Kodiak stainless steel disc brakes with stainless rotors and ceramic pads, all four spindles replaced in 2024, and recent bearing service done — one of the best saltwater trailer setups available.
-
- Stored indoors — the boat has spent most of its life under cover, which shows in the condition of the hull and gelcoat.
