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:
