Everglades Introduces the 455cc Offshore Center Console

Everglades has introduced a new line of offshore center consoles, anchored by its flagship model, the 455cc. Announced for production in the spring of 2021, the 455cc is designed to serve serious anglers and families who want a high-performance center console that balances offshore capability with day-boat comfort.

Hull Design: Patented RAMCAP for Offshore Confidence

The 455cc rides on Everglades’ patented RAMCAP hull, a design the company markets as unsinkable and engineered to cut through heavy seas. The RAMCAP construction is intended to prioritize buoyancy and safety while providing a stable, confidence-inspiring ride in challenging offshore conditions. For anglers and offshore cruisers, that translates into a hull that handles big water with predictable motion and the added peace of mind of enhanced flotation.

Integrated Electronics: Garmin Digital Switching

At the helm, the 455cc incorporates Garmin’s digital switch system across three touchscreen monitors. This integrated setup gives owners centralized control over engine performance, lighting, communication, and other onboard systems. By consolidating switches and displays into a touchscreen interface, the helm layout reduces clutter, simplifies system management, and allows quick access to critical information when conditions demand fast decisions.

Fishing-Focused Features

Everglades has equipped the 455cc with features aimed at anglers. A completely custom tower has been designed specifically for this model, providing elevated sightlines for spotting fish, improving visibility when navigating inshore approaches, and enhancing the overall fishing platform. The layout and hardware choices reflect a focus on offshore gamefishing, tournament anglers, and serious recreational fishermen who need a robust, well-thought-out center console setup.

Power and Performance

Standard propulsion for the 455cc is a quad-outboard package using four 425-horsepower Yamaha engines. With that powertrain the 455cc targets a cruising speed of about 37 knots and a top speed near 50 knots, offering quick transit to distant fishing grounds. Those performance figures, paired with the RAMCAP hull, aim to deliver efficient offshore passages and the speed needed for covering water quickly during a day of fishing.

Range and Fuel Capacity

Fuel capacity is substantial, with a reported 656 gallons aboard the 455cc. That large fuel reserve yields an estimated range of roughly 400 miles at cruise speed, giving owners the ability to reach far offshore grounds and return without frequent refueling stops. For bluewater anglers and coastal cruisers, the combination of range and speed opens up extended trip possibilities while maintaining adequate reserves for unexpected conditions.

Comfort and Practicality

While the 455cc emphasizes fishing performance, Everglades also designed the boat with family-friendly amenities and creature comforts in mind. The layout and systems are intended to provide a comfortable experience for day trips and longer outings alike, ensuring that passengers not directly involved in angling still enjoy a refined, functional onboard environment.

Summary

The Everglades 455cc is positioned as a high-end offshore center console that blends patented RAMCAP hull technology, integrated Garmin digital switching, serious fishing features like a custom tower, and a powerful quad‑425 hp Yamaha outboard package. With a targeted cruise speed near 37 knots, a top end around 50 knots, and a large 656-gallon fuel capacity offering roughly 400 miles of range, the 455cc aims to deliver performance, range, and onboard convenience for anglers and families seeking a capable offshore platform. Production was slated to begin in the spring of 2021.
