Review of Everglades Boat Center Console Series 285CC 2024
The Everglades Boat Center Console Series 285CC 2024 stands as a testament to Everglades' commitment to precision engineering, innovative design, and top-notch performance. Part of Everglades Boats' 2024 collection and falling under the category of Fiberglass Fish, the 285CC 2024 doesn't just live up to its name, it redefines it.
First and foremost, the 285CC 2024 promises a construction quality that goes unparalleled. Its patented RAMCAP construction process guarantees a lifetime of durability and resilience, underscored by a high-density composite transom and a hull laminate that includes premium gel coating and bi-axial fiberglass. And with the hull and deck mated faultlessly to create a one-piece construction, you can be assured of an unmatched structural solidity and long-term durability. What sets this apart is its 'unsinkability' – an assurance of safety that is a prized feature for experienced boaters.
One of the exceptional features of the 285CC 2024 is its Garmin digital switching system—an apparent nod towards embracing digitalization. This accompanies other console-based perks, including a sliding windshield, console glove box, handrail, power port, USB charging ports, and a footrest at the helm, to name a few. The 285CC 2024 also boasts a head compartment equipped with everything you’d need, from toilet and holding tank, to storages, flooring, and even a wall mounted removable trash can.
The Everglades Boat Center Console Series 285CC 2024 is not just about functionality, it’s also about entertainment. The boat’s hardtop includes a premier audio package featuring Fusion control head with Bluetooth and JL M-series speakers, providing the finest in-music experience. Moreover, its deck/cockpit section has been smartly designed to pack in a slew of amenities. These include anchor hatch with electric windlass, cushioned bow seating with removable backrests, insulated beverage storage, side utility door, and even rotating dual helm seat.
Kick-starting the engine won't be a problem at all—the 285CC 2024 comes with a battery bank (2) for the engine, equipped with a charging system. There's also a house battery bank with a charging system to ensure your on-board living never faces a power-cut. To ensure safety, the boat is fitted with automatic bilge pumps, a high-water alarm, and LED lighting across all important areas.
Fishing is at the heart of the Everglades Boat Center Console Series 285CC 2024. The boat holds a single level cockpit floor along with a myriad of fishing-related utilities, including insulated circulating livewell, insulated in-deck forward fish box, and stainless steel rod holders, among others. The boat’s advanced electronics package includes Garmin Basic Package with VHF, GPSMAP Chart Plotter, and Transducers leaves nothing to be desired for advanced navigation and communication.
Available at an MSRP of $359,040, and an invoice price of $251,328, the Everglades Boat Center Console Series 285CC 2024 stands as a paragon of marine engineering. With superb features combined with excellent design, this is a fishing boat that truly stands out on both style and substance frontiers.

The See Dealer Cost Story
When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
