This page is published but not submitted to search engines: only 2 distinct observations (need 10); only 2 priced observations (need 6); only 2 states (need 4); only 0 model years with 3+ observations. We would rather show you a thin page honestly than pretend it is complete.
BoatVerdict market snapshot
These are asking prices. No free or public source publishes US used-boat transaction prices, so nobody — us included — can honestly show you what these boats sold for. What we can show you is what 2 sellers are asking, which is the number you are actually negotiating against.
Only 2 priced listings. Treat the numbers as directional.
Method: Asking prices from active listings, de-duplicated so a re-posted boat counts once (13 raw listings collapsed to 2 distinct boats). Quartiles, not averages, so one outlier cannot move the band. Rounded to $500.
Coverage: Model years 2020–2020, 2 states, 2 metro areas. New-boat listings excluded.

The BoatVerdict take
- BoatVerdict listing data
Asking prices vary widely: the middle half of listings runs $28,500 to $94,000, a 3.3x spread. On this model the year and the condition matter far more than the badge, so a headline price tells you very little until you place the specific boat on the year table below.
- BoatVerdict listing data
Supply is concentrated: our 2 listings came from only 2 states, led by FL. Expect a smaller buyer pool at resale, and budget for transport if the right boat is not local.
- BoatVerdict analyst
RAMCAP closed-cell construction = exceptional build integrity and value retention. Cult following among serious anglers.
Each point is tagged with the evidence behind it. Nothing here is a claim we cannot trace back to a counted listing, a federal record, or a named analyst judgement.
Known problems on the Everglades 243 CC
- Low Few structural issues — the build is the selling point. Watch instead for neglected electronics and aged Yamaha rigging.
- Medium Older (2008–2012) units may have first-gen Yamaha F250 4.2L or carbureted power — confirm engine generation.
Severity is BoatVerdict's rating of what the fault costs to put right and how likely it is to end a deal, not a manufacturer classification. Recalls are listed separately below because a recall is a federal record and a known issue is not.
Method: Hand-authored from service patterns, owner reports and federal records for this model, then reviewed against our listing data.

What to inspect on a used Everglades 243 CC
- Verify engine generation and hours — the hull outlasts the original motors, so repower status drives value. Model-specific item from BoatVerdict's Everglades 243 CC profile.
- Check all electronics power up; aged Garmin/Raymarine suites are a $10K+ refit. Model-specific item from BoatVerdict's Everglades 243 CC profile.
- Assume saltwater service unless the seller can prove otherwise: pull the engine cowling and look at the powerhead, check trim-cylinder rams for pitting, and open the battery and fuse boxes for green corrosion. 100% of the listings we observed for this model are in coastal states.
- Work the 2 known issues listed above into the sea trial, not the walkaround. Most of them only show up under load. BoatVerdict analyst profile for this model.
This list is specific to this model: analyst items for the hull, plus items driven by the engines and the regions we actually observe on 243 CC listings. It is not a generic pre-purchase checklist, and it does not replace a surveyor.
What a 243 CC costs to own
$3,750 – $10k per year
- 24 ft center console, the published length for this model
- Saltwater berth, based on where most listings we see are located (FL)
- Includes insurance, storage, routine service, fuel at moderate seasonal use, and a reserve for wear items
- Excludes loan payments, major engine replacement, and refit work
This is a modelled band, not observed spend. Real cost swings hard on where you keep the boat and how much you use it.
Method: The same ownership-cost model BoatVerdict's paid Deal Report uses: boat class and length set the base band, then saltwater berth and size adjust it.
