Owner Experience Review
Owners and testers consistently describe the 285CCfromEvergladesas a bluewater-capable center console that balances offshore fishability with family-minded comfort. The RAMCAP hull and deep-V form with a 23° transom deadrise deliver a notably smooth ride in chop and confident tracking offshore. Reported performance numbers provide a clear benchmark: a best cruise around 30.1 mph at 3,500 rpm with twin 300s and a company/test top speed near 55.4 mph in test conditions.
For fishing, the boat is set up with a 200-gallon fuel capacity for range, a 25-gallon livewell, multiple rod holders, and fishboxes—features that align with bluewater runs. Families and day boaters appreciate the enclosed head and a usable console cabin, while the rotating helm/mezzanine seat, folding transom benches, and a bow lounge that converts to a sun pad/table support flexible day and weekend use.
Ownership feedback centers on routine twin-outboard service with conventional access and the generally praised fit-and-finish. There are no widely reported model-specific design failures in public forums. Practical considerations include fuel burn—about 18.4 gph at best cruise with twin 300s—and giving proper attention to electronics installation to ensure long-term reliability.
