Looking for ideas on a good Florida boat for Myakka River and the
Gulf.



Everglades 243CC

http://www.evergladesboats.com/243.html






Our local Grady-Parker dealer handles these...they are gorgeous,
beautifully finished boats.


They are very well-made. Designed by Dougherty (the guy who designed all
of those beautiful, classic Boston Whaler Outrages from the 80's and
early 90's). He left Whaler in the early 90's and started Edgewater. He
then sold his stake in Edgewater and started Everglades. Boston Whaler's
Commercial Product Division still sells Dougherty-designed hulls as the
19', 22, 25, and 27' Guardian. They're used by law enforcement, fire
dept's, and military special-ops.

Our local dealer had a 24' Edgewater in downtown Naples last year when
they first released the boat. It was powered by a 225 four-stroke Yammie
and sold (with trailer) for just under $50k. It's the perfect
dual-purpose boat for these waters.

The rep told me that Dougherty has a 27' deep-vee offshore in the
pipeline. As a classic Whaler Outrage enthusiast, I'm *very* interested
to see what that 27' will look like. Hopefully it'll look like this:

Whaler used to have a 30' workboat with a cabin, really nice lines, that
was used as a patrol boat. It seemed to be an awesome boat

Are you talking about the Frontier? I know they made a 25 and 27, but I'm
not sure about the 30'. Here's a link to the Commercial and Gov't Products
Division:

The old Frontiers are renamed the "Challenger 25 and 27". The Vigilant 27'
is a similar boat:
