2014 Everglades 243SS
243CC Bob Dougherty Signature Series Bob Dougherty earned his place in boat building history long ago for his contributions to the development of the unsinkable hull. Because of his 50 year "romance with fiberglass", the founder of Everglades Boats is still at it to this day, pursuing his passion of building the finest family fishing boats on the water. This limited edition model is dedicated to the man behind Everglades Boats. Exceptional details distinguish this boat from the rest of the fleet and will make it a collector's piece for years to come. Starting with its custom blue metallic hull, white Yamaha engine, and underwater lights, this 243cc makes an indelible first impression. The interior is reminiscent of luxury automobiles with rich wood accents, fine upholstery, and a solid wood steering wheel. Garmin electronics and a premium Polk Audio system complete the luxury package. Signed and numbered, the Bob Dougherty Signature 243cc is a fitting tribute to the man who coined the phrase, "Intelligent by Design." It is destined to become a timeless classic, much like the man himself.
