You’d be hard-pressed to find a fishing boat with better quality, fit and finish than the Everglades 355T.
Our 15,455-pound tester was powered by triple Yamaha F350 outboards. Rigged with a hardtop and tower, it sped to nearly 60 mph and ran smooth through confused seas. Our tester arrived with Yamaha’s Helm Master system (boatingmag.com/helm-master), which features joystick steering for close-quarters maneuvering, digital throttle and shift, digital wheel steering, push-button speed control, engine synchronization and auto-trim capability, among other features. The 355T’s big center-console offers excellent weather protection, thanks to a tempered-glass windshield. Its hydraulically operated forward panel slides down, ushering in fresh air. The console accommodates a pair of 15.5-inch multifunction displays and a brace of Yamaha’s 6Y9 Command Link Plus gauges. A tower helm station is available ($23,077).
The 355T sports lockable, under-gunwale storage for rods, tackle and other gear. Coaming pads encircle the cockpit. A rigging station abaft the helm includes a freshwater sink, twin tackle cabinets and a fold-out, aft-facing seat. Three seats are built into the front of the console. Twin fish boxes flank the 355T’s 38-gallon transom livewell. In the forward deck is an additional 120 gallons of fish-box capacity.
Within the console, a teak-trimmed head compartment features a china-bowl head with a macerator and 15-gallon holding tank. There’s also a Corian countertop and a vessel sink with a freshwater faucet.
All-composite construction with closed-cell foam flotation renders the 355T virtually unsinkable. Knitted fabric and vinylester resin combine for top quality, and the hull liner and deck are mated to form a rigid one-piece structure.
A beefy utility door on the port side allows crew to easily board and carry supplies between the dock and the aft cockpit. This also makes it easier to haul aboard a big fish, and with this boat, you’re very likely to hook some big ones.
