The Everglades 335cc: A Complete Guide
The Everglades 335cc is a 33-foot center console that represents the culmination of one man’s lifelong pursuit of building the perfect offshore fishing boat. Built by Everglades at their Edgewater, Florida facility, the 335cc combines the brand’s patented RAMCAP (Rapid Molded Core Assembly Process) construction with a 25-degree deadrise hull, a tournament-ready fishing layout, and a level of fit-and-finish that places it firmly among the finest center consoles money can buy. This is a boat with a pedigree that few competitors can match — one rooted in the very origins of foam-core hull construction itself.
To understand the 335cc, you must understand Bob Dougherty. In the late 1950s, Dougherty helped develop the original foam-filled hull concept at Boston Whaler, working alongside Dick Fisher to create what would become the most famous unsinkable boat in history. When Dougherty departed Boston Whaler, he didn’t retire — he set out to improve upon the very technology he had helped pioneer. In 1997, he founded Everglades Boats with a singular mission: to build a safer, stronger, more refined foam-core hull than anything on the market. The result was RAMCAP, a patented process that won the Marine Manufacturers Innovation Award and fundamentally changed how premium center consoles are constructed. Every Everglades hull built since carries Dougherty’s engineering DNA, and the 335cc is the flagship expression of that legacy.
The 335cc debuted in 2017 and quickly became a favourite among Northeast and Southeast anglers who demand serious offshore capability without sacrificing the comfort and elegance required for mixed-use days with family. For the 2024 model year, Everglades undertook a comprehensive “reimagining” of the 335cc — introducing a modernized black helm dash, digital switching, larger MFD display options, a super-wide dive door, retractable bow table, and the option to configure the aft cockpit for either hardcore tournament fishing or relaxed entertaining with rear-facing mezzanine seats. The hull itself remained unchanged — a testament to the fundamental soundness of the original design.
What sets the 335cc apart from the dozens of 33-foot center consoles on the market is the RAMCAP construction. Unlike conventional boats where the hull and deck are built separately and bolted or bonded together at a flange joint, the RAMCAP process creates a genuinely unitized structure. Pre-molded blocks of high-density, closed-cell structural foam — at 6 lbs per cubic foot, triple the density of standard spray foam — are precision-fitted between the hull and cockpit liner, then bonded under vacuum to create a single, solid, one-piece structure. There are no voids, no hollow spaces, no weak flange joints. The result is a hull that is structurally stiff, vibration-dampened, acoustically quiet, and genuinely unsinkable — capable of floating level if swamped, not merely protruding partially above the waterline as with “basic flotation” boats.
Everglades is so confident in the RAMCAP construction that they offer a full lifetime hull warranty — transferable to subsequent owners upon resale. This is not a limited or pro-rated warranty; it covers the hull structure for as long as the boat exists. Combined with 100% wood-free construction (no plywood, no balsa, no teak core in any structural component), the 335cc is designed to resist the rot, delamination, and water intrusion that plague conventionally built boats as they age. For a surveyor evaluating a 10-year-old Everglades, the absence of wood in the structure eliminates the single most common failure mode in aging fiberglass boats.

The defining specification is the RAMCAP construction. While multiple builders offer foam-core or foam-filled hulls, the RAMCAP process is unique in that the foam is pre-molded to precise tolerances before being placed in the hull — rather than injected as liquid foam that expands in situ. This distinction matters enormously. Injected foam can leave voids, particularly in complex hull shapes where liquid foam may not flow uniformly. Pre-molded foam eliminates this risk entirely: every cubic inch of structural foam is exactly where the engineers intended it to be, providing consistent buoyancy, uniform sound dampening, and predictable structural reinforcement throughout the hull.
The 25-degree transom deadrise is notably sharp for a 33-foot center console. Many competitors in this size range flatten to 18–22 degrees at the transom to gain stability at rest and improve fuel economy at cruise. Everglades made the deliberate choice to maintain a deeper V, accepting the trade-offs of slightly more roll at anchor and marginally higher fuel consumption in exchange for a hull that genuinely excels when conditions deteriorate offshore. The 41-degree average deadrise forward means the bow slices through head seas rather than slamming over them — a characteristic that experienced offshore anglers will immediately appreciate on a rough day 50 miles from the inlet.
The 100% wood-free construction deserves emphasis. The hull, deck, stringers, transom, and all structural components are built entirely from fiberglass and composite materials with RAMCAP foam core. There is no plywood transom, no balsa-cored deck, no wood stringers — none of the materials that absorb water and rot over time in conventional boat construction. In a marine survey context, this is a significant quality indicator: the most expensive repairs on aging fiberglass boats almost always trace back to water intrusion into wood-cored structures. Everglades has eliminated that failure mode entirely.
Performance & Handling
Engine Options
The 335cc is rated for a maximum of 850 horsepower and accepts twin outboard installations. The standard power package is twin Yamaha F300 four-strokes (600 HP total), which delivers a practical balance of performance, fuel economy, and initial cost. Upgrade options include twin Yamaha F350 (700 HP total), twin Yamaha F450 (900 HP total — note this exceeds the rated max HP but is offered by the factory), and twin Mercury V10 400 HP (800 HP total) in the Cold Fusion White colour. The choice of engine package significantly affects both purchase price and long-term running costs.
Speed and Fuel Economy
Independent testing by BoatTEST with twin 425 HP outboards recorded a top speed of 47.6 knots (54.7 mph) at 6,100 RPM. The boat planed in 3.7 seconds and accelerated through 30 mph in 7.4 seconds — brisk performance for a hull displacing nearly 13,000 lbs in test trim. Best cruise was recorded at 3,500 RPM, where the boat ran 25 knots (28.8 mph) and burned 22.5 GPH, yielding approximately 1.28 MPG. At that rate, the 306-gallon fuel tank provides a theoretical range of roughly 306 nautical miles (352 statute miles), with a comfortable 10% reserve.
Real-world fuel economy is always lower than controlled test conditions, and the 335cc is no exception. Owner reports from forums and first-hand accounts indicate that with realistic loads — a full fuel tank, 500 lbs of ice, five anglers, fishing gear, and provisions — fuel economy drops to 0.7–1.0 MPG depending on speed and sea state. One owner running twin F300s reported 0.95 MPG at 38 mph on a flat day with five aboard. With the standard twin F300 package, expect a top speed of approximately 38–42 mph and a practical cruising speed of 28–32 mph at 3,000–3,500 RPM. These are honest numbers for a full-displacement, foam-cored hull in this size class — the RAMCAP construction adds weight that lighter, conventionally built competitors avoid, but the trade-off is a hull that is structurally superior and remarkably quiet underway.
Offshore Handling
The 335cc’s handling in offshore conditions is where the boat truly justifies its premium positioning. The deep-V hull with 25-degree transom deadrise cuts through head seas with minimal pounding, and the RAMCAP foam core absorbs and dampens impact energy in a way that hollow or spray-foamed hulls simply cannot match. Owners consistently describe the ride as “solid” and “quiet” — two adjectives that matter enormously when you are running 40 miles offshore into a building chop at dawn.
The reverse chine hull design channels spray downward and outward, keeping the cockpit drier than many competitors in beam seas. SeaStar Optimus electronic power steering comes standard, providing responsive, feedback-rich helm control at all speeds. For owners who want the ultimate in comfort, the optional Seakeeper 2 gyroscopic stabilizer dramatically reduces roll at rest and at trolling speeds — transforming the at-anchor experience during long drift-fishing sessions or when the family is aboard for a leisure day. The Seakeeper adds approximately USD 25,000–30,000 to the purchase price and draws from the main batteries, but owners who have installed it universally describe it as one of the best investments they have made in a boat.
The 335cc is not the fastest center console in its class — lighter, conventionally built boats with similar horsepower will outrun it. But speed is only one dimension of performance. The RAMCAP hull’s structural rigidity means there is no flex, no creaking, no working of hull-to-deck joints at speed or in rough conditions. The boat feels like one solid piece because it is one solid piece. Over a long day offshore, this translates to less fatigue, less noise, and more confidence — qualities that are difficult to quantify on a specification sheet but immediately apparent on the water.
Fishing Features & Layout
The Everglades 335cc was designed by people who fish, and it shows in every detail of the deck layout. The 131-square-foot cockpit is one of the largest in the 33-foot class, providing ample room for multiple anglers to fight fish simultaneously without tripping over each other or tangling lines. The cockpit sole is self-bailing with strategically placed scuppers for rapid drainage, and every surface is finished with aggressive non-skid that remains effective when wet with blood, bait, and saltwater.
Livewells and Fishboxes
The pressurized 37-gallon livewell is located on the port side and features a clear acrylic lid with stainless friction hinges, rounded interior corners for bait fish health, a blue interior finish for light management, and dedicated aeration and drainage systems. The clear lid is a thoughtful detail — it allows you to monitor bait condition without opening the well and disturbing water temperature. Serious live-bait anglers will appreciate the pressurized system, which maintains consistent water flow regardless of boat speed or orientation.
Fish storage is generous for the class. The aft fishbox provides 82 gallons (310 litres) of insulated capacity with a freezer option, twin gas-strut lid support, and removable plastic dividers for organising the catch. Forward of the console seat, a massive 129-gallon (488-litre) in-deck fishbox handles tournament-quantity catches with ease. Both boxes are fully insulated and drain through macerated overboard discharge. Tilt-in gunwale lockers provide additional storage for mooring lines, dock fenders, and tackle.
Rod Storage and Holders
With over 20 rod holders positioned throughout the boat — gunwale-mounted flush holders, rocket launchers on the leaning post and T-top, and transom-mounted holders — the 335cc can accommodate a serious arsenal of rods for different fishing applications. The gunwale rod racks feature bungee-cord retainers to prevent rods from bouncing loose in rough conditions. Lockable rod and gaff storage keeps expensive equipment secure during transits and at the marina.
Tournament Features
The 335cc comes standard with features that many competitors offer only as options: an 18-foot outrigger package for trolling, underwater lights for night fishing, raw and freshwater washdowns, 30-amp under-gunwale power ports for electric reels, and toerails that allow anglers to brace themselves during fights with large pelagic species. The standard fiberglass hardtop provides all-day shade without the maintenance requirements of canvas — and it serves as a mounting platform for antennas, radar, spreader lights, and additional rocket launchers.
For the 2024+ reimagined model, owners can choose between rear-facing mezzanine seats for a more social, entertaining-focused aft layout, or an optional tournament-ready fish station that maximises working space for serious offshore fishing. This configurability is a thoughtful acknowledgment that many center console owners use their boats for both dedicated fishing trips and family outings — the ability to optimise the aft layout for the mission at hand adds genuine versatility.
Comfort and Amenities
Despite its fishing focus, the 335cc does not neglect the comfort side of the equation. The enclosed console houses a head compartment with standing headroom and a marine toilet — a necessity for extended offshore trips and a requirement when the family is aboard. The helm station accommodates multiple large MFDs (the 2024+ model supports up to triple displays) with a clean, ergonomic dash layout. Diamond-stitched helm seats, teak accents, and a premium JL Audio stereo system with Fusion head unit come standard, lending the cockpit a fit-and-finish that approaches yacht territory.
The 27-inch port-side utility door opens on heavy-duty hinges and stays secured with a magnetised inboard latch. It serves triple duty as a boarding door from floating docks, a dive entry, and a fish-loading gate. A removable dive ladder deploys through the door opening. The 2024+ model widened this door to a “super-wide” configuration, improving boarding ease for divers in full gear.
Forward, a retractable bow table (new for 2024) transforms the bow seating area from a fishing platform to a social space for lunch or sundowners. Bow cushions, a bow anchor locker with windlass, and stainless bow rails complete the forward layout. The overall impression is of a boat that takes its fishing mission seriously while refusing to compromise on the comfort details that make full-day outings enjoyable for everyone aboard.
Ownership & Running Costs
The Everglades 335cc sits squarely in the premium tier of the center console market, and ownership costs reflect both the quality of the platform and the outboard power required to drive a 15,000+ lb loaded displacement. New pricing starts at approximately USD 348,000 with twin Yamaha F300s, but a fully optioned boat with premium engines, Seakeeper stabilization, upgraded electronics, and hull colour options can approach or exceed USD 500,000–725,000 depending on configuration. Annual operating costs for a US-based owner typically fall in the USD 18,000–35,000 range:
- Insurance: 1.0–2.0% of hull value depending on location, owner experience, and navigation area. For a 335cc insured at USD 300,000–500,000, expect approximately USD 3,000–10,000 per year. Florida and Gulf Coast policies may carry hurricane surcharges that add 0.25–0.5% to the premium.
- Slip or storage: Wet slip fees range from USD 4,000–14,000+ annually depending on location (South Florida, the Keys, and Northeast harbours command premium rates). Dry stack storage is popular for boats of this size at USD 4,200–9,600 per year, with the benefit of keeping the hull out of the water and reducing bottom paint maintenance.
- Engine service: Yamaha outboards require annual service including oil and filter changes, gear lube, anode replacement, and water pump impeller replacement at recommended intervals. Budget USD 1,200–2,500 for twin engines. Yamaha F450s carry a modest service premium due to the larger V8 powerhead. Yamaha’s dealer and service network is extensive throughout the US, Caribbean, and internationally.
- Fuel: Twin Yamaha F300s consume approximately 22–30 gallons per hour at cruising speed depending on load and conditions. At current US marina fuel prices (approximately USD 5.00–6.00 per gallon), a 100-hour season costs roughly USD 11,000–18,000 in fuel alone. Fuel is typically the largest variable operating cost and is heavily influenced by cruising speed and load.
- Bottom maintenance: For wet-slipped boats, annual haul-out, bottom paint, and running gear service costs approximately USD 2,000–4,000. Dry-stacked boats avoid bottom paint costs entirely. Everglades’ use of a seachest for raw-water supplied accessories reduces the number of through-hull fittings in the bottom, simplifying hull maintenance.
- Electronics and upgrades: Budget USD 1,000–3,000 annually for software updates, transducer maintenance, and incremental electronics upgrades. Garmin packages are offered from the factory; many owners upgrade to premium radar, FLIR thermal cameras, and satellite communication over time.
Resale and value retention: Everglades boats hold their value well on the secondary market, supported by the RAMCAP construction (which ages better than conventionally built hulls), the transferable lifetime hull warranty, and a loyal owner community. Pre-owned 335cc models from 2018–2023 typically list in the USD 200,000–400,000 range depending on engine hours, power configuration, and installed options. Compared to mass-production center consoles, Everglades’ boutique production volumes and strong brand identity help maintain above-average resale percentages. Three-to-five-year-old examples with moderate hours typically retain 70–85% of their original purchase price — a strong retention rate that makes the total cost of ownership more palatable than the initial sticker price suggests.
Total cost of ownership perspective: When evaluating the 335cc against lower-priced competitors, factor in the lifetime hull warranty, the wood-free construction that eliminates the most common cause of age-related structural failure, and the stronger resale values. A boat that costs USD 50,000 more to purchase but retains USD 40,000 more of its value at resale is effectively only USD 10,000 more expensive to own — and it delivers a structurally superior, quieter, more refined platform throughout the ownership period.
Buying Guide: How to Buy an Everglades 335cc
Buying New
New 335cc models are available through Everglades’ authorised dealer network, which is smaller and more selective than mass-market brands. Base MSRP starts at approximately USD 348,000 with twin Yamaha F300s. Common factory options that add significant cost include the Seakeeper 2 stabilizer (USD 25,000–30,000), Yamaha F350 or F450 engine upgrade (USD 30,000–80,000 above base), hull colour with hardtop-underside colour matching, upper station, 12-volt air conditioning, Garmin electronics packages, and various seating and storage configurations. A fully optioned 335cc with premium engines and electronics typically commands USD 450,000–550,000+. Dealer preparation, freight, taxes, and registration fees are additional.
Everglades’ production volume is deliberately limited, and popular configurations can involve wait times of several months. Ordering through a dealer allows full customisation of hull colour, engine package, electronics, and interior options. Everglades offers eight hull colour options with matching hardtop undersides — a level of personalisation that many larger-volume builders cannot match.
Buying Pre-Owned
Pre-owned 335cc models from 2017–2023 represent strong value propositions, particularly given the transferable lifetime hull warranty and the wood-free construction that mitigates age-related structural concerns. Market listings show used examples ranging from approximately USD 200,000 for early models with higher hours to USD 400,000+ for late-model, low-hour boats with premium engine packages. The average listing price across all model years hovers around USD 350,000–385,000.
When evaluating a pre-owned 335cc, the most critical factor is engine condition and hours. A boat with twin Yamaha F300s showing 500–800 hours after 3–5 years of ownership represents moderate, well-distributed usage and should have substantial engine life remaining. Boats showing over 300 hours per year per engine suggest heavier commercial-style usage and warrant more detailed engine inspection. Yamaha outboards are renowned for reliability, but hours still matter.
Key Inspection Points
- Forward fishbox seal: Multiple owners have reported that the forward fishbox is not perfectly sealed to the deck, allowing water to drain into the bilge. Inspect the joint between the fishbox and the deck moulding for gaps or evidence of water bypass. This is a known issue that Everglades has addressed under warranty on affected boats.
- Macerator pump: The forward macerator pump has been a recurring warranty item, with reports of inadequate drainage and premature failure. Check pump operation during the sea trial and verify whether the pump has been replaced or serviced. As a workaround, some owners keep the macerator valve closed until ready to pump out at the end of a trip.
- Outboard engines: Verify service records (authorised Yamaha or Mercury dealer stamps preferred), check compression readings on all cylinders, inspect lower unit gear lube for water contamination, and test trim and tilt operation. Run the engines under load during the sea trial and observe for smoke, vibration, or hesitation. Inspect powerhead cowlings and mounts for salt corrosion.
- Hull and foam core: The RAMCAP construction is inherently robust, but inspect the hull bottom for impact damage from groundings or debris strikes. The foam core means water intrusion is less of a concern than with balsa-cored hulls, but damaged areas should still be professionally repaired. Check gel coat condition, particularly below the waterline and at the bow entry.
- Electrical systems: Earlier models (particularly during the Dougherty-era ownership) received some criticism for electrical complexity and accessory reliability. Verify that all switches, breakers, and circuits function correctly. Inspect wiring in the bilge and behind the helm for proper marine-grade connections — Everglades uses tinned copper wire, Deutsch waterproof plugs, and heat-shrink connectors as standard, so aftermarket additions that do not meet this standard are easy to identify.
- Powder coating and hardware: Check all aluminium framework (hardtop supports, T-top frame) for powder coat integrity. Everglades fabricates and powder-coats their aluminium framework in-house using marine-grade materials. Look for chips, scratches, or corrosion blooming beneath the powder coat, particularly at fastener points and areas subject to dock contact.
- Fuel-water separators: Access to the fuel-water separators has been noted as inconvenient for routine servicing. Verify that filters are clean and accessible, and note the location for future maintenance planning.
A marine survey for a center console at this price point should include a full out-of-water hull inspection, engine diagnostic scan with compression testing, a sea trial at multiple speeds and throttle settings, and a comprehensive systems check covering all electronics, pumps, livewells, and electrical circuits. Budget USD 1,500–2,500 for a thorough survey. The Everglades’ seachest — which consolidates raw-water intakes into a single through-hull fitting rather than multiple bottom penetrations — simplifies the below-waterline inspection and is a notable construction advantage.
Everglades 335cc vs Competitors & Alternatives
The 30–35-foot center console segment is one of the most competitive in the recreational marine industry, featuring dozens of established builders competing for the offshore fishing dollar. The 335cc positions itself at the premium end of this segment, competing on construction quality, ride comfort, and the RAMCAP differentiator rather than on price or raw speed. Understanding how it stacks up against the key competitors is essential for an informed purchase decision.
Everglades 335cc vs Boston Whaler 330 Outrage
This is the comparison every prospective Everglades buyer makes, and for good reason: Bob Dougherty helped create the original Boston Whaler foam-core technology before founding Everglades to improve upon it. Both boats use foam-filled, unsinkable hull construction — Whaler’s Unibond process injects liquid polyurethane foam that expands in the mould, while Everglades’ RAMCAP uses pre-molded, high-density structural foam placed with precision before vacuum bonding. The practical difference is subtle but real: the RAMCAP foam is denser (6 lbs/ft³ vs. standard polyurethane), more uniformly distributed, and contributes to a noticeably quieter ride. The 335cc also carries a deeper transom deadrise (25 degrees vs. the Whaler’s 23 degrees on the pre-2026 model), giving it a slight edge in rough offshore conditions. Boston Whaler counters with stronger brand recognition, a larger dealer and service network, better resale value in some markets, and the new 2026 WhalerStep hull that significantly improves efficiency and speed. Both are outstanding offshore platforms; the Everglades offers arguably better construction and a quieter ride, while the Whaler offers stronger market liquidity and a broader support ecosystem.
Everglades 335cc vs Grady-White Canyon 336
The Canyon 336 is Grady-White’s flagship center console and a formidable competitor. At 33 ft 6 in with an 11 ft 7 in beam (nearly a foot wider than the Everglades), the Canyon 336 offers more cockpit space and greater initial stability. Grady-White’s SeaV² hull design, developed with C. Raymond Hunt and Associates, delivers an excellent offshore ride, and the brand’s fit-and-finish is legendary — many surveyors consider Grady-White the benchmark for production boat build quality. The Canyon 336 also offers a triple-engine option (up to 1,050 HP) that the 335cc does not match. The Everglades advantage lies in the RAMCAP construction (no other production builder uses pre-molded foam core), the lifetime transferable hull warranty, the wood-free construction, and the deeper deadrise. For buyers who prioritise construction technology and offshore ride quality, the Everglades has the edge. For those who value cockpit space, fit-and-finish, and customer satisfaction heritage, Grady-White is difficult to beat.
Everglades 335cc vs Boston Whaler 280 Outrage
For buyers considering a step down in size to save on both purchase price and running costs, the Boston Whaler 280 Outrage offers the Whaler’s unsinkable Unibond construction in a more compact, more fuel-efficient package. At 28 feet, the 280 is significantly lighter and more economical to run, with twin 200–300 HP outboards providing ample performance. The trade-offs are meaningful, however: less cockpit space, smaller fishboxes and livewells, reduced range, and a narrower beam that provides less stability in beam seas. The 335cc is the right choice for owners who routinely run 30+ miles offshore and need the fuel capacity, cockpit space, and rough-water capability that a 33-foot hull provides. The 280 Outrage suits coastal fishing, inshore work, and owners who prioritise lower operating costs over maximum offshore range.
Everglades 335cc vs Wellcraft 355
The Wellcraft 355 offers more length and a lower entry price than the 335cc, making it attractive for buyers who want a large center console without the premium-brand price tag. Wellcraft, now part of the Groupe Beneteau family, delivers a solid fishing platform with good standard equipment. However, the 355 uses conventional fibreglass construction without foam-core technology, meaning it lacks the unsinkable characteristic, the sound dampening, and the structural rigidity of the RAMCAP hull. It also does not carry a lifetime hull warranty. The Wellcraft is a capable fishing boat at a competitive price; the Everglades is a premium platform built to a fundamentally different construction standard. The decision often comes down to budget and priorities: raw value versus engineering excellence.
