No, the Everglades 243cc does not have hinged backs that convert bow seats into forward-facing lounges, and headroom inside the console is only 41 inches, so it’s not a practical space for anyone but children to use the available portable toilet, but boaters have gotten by without such amenities for centuries. The 243cc is still a comfortable boat for many family activities, and its new features make it an even better, more versatile rig that fits virtually any fishery in the Chesapeake. Most of all, though, it remains a safe, seaworthy rig, an investment whose working lifespan can be measured in generations rather than years. It endures because it works, a testimony to Bob Dougherty’s hard-won design wisdom: “It takes complex thinking and planning to make something simple.”

Base price for a 2023 Everglades 243cc with a Yamaha F300 is $167,327. Our test boat, with Garmin electronics, a stereo, and a modest set of options, freight, make-ready features and a safety package carried a retail price of $196,147.
