2016 Everglades 435CC

Design-wise, the 435cc is classic Everglades and all about serious offshore fishing work. The transom sports a massive 25 degrees of transom deadrise with an overall hull average of 41 degrees. That means this big boat should make quick work of any nasty stuff off the coast. There’s an aggressive bow with a steep entry and forward-focused reverse sheer that reveals a slight flare at the bow, which should help keep occupants dry. The dry weight of this boat is 16,880 pounds, thanks primarily to its 100 percent composite construction.

Step aboard through the opening utility (aka “tuna”) door in the port topsides and you’ll see that Everglades took an all-or-nothing approach to this boat when it comes to fishing. Up forward at the bow is a 225-gallon fish locker with macerated overboard discharge. The next tipoff that this is a serious fishing boat is in its rod stowage capacity. The Everglades 435cc can swallow up 40 rods, including two kingfish rod holders. The twin 18-foot Taco Grand slam Outrigger package is standard.
