Boat Test: 2026 Everglades 367CX

Overview

The 367CX is a versatile adventure boat designed for those who seek more than just standard fishing experiences. This meticulously crafted vessel merges premium construction with thoughtful design elements to create a truly multipurpose maritime platform. Its fishing features are comprehensive without overpowering the recreational angle of the design. Strategically placed rod holders on the transom and gunwales, a dedicated livewell, fish box, and tackle storage create its functional fishing environment. Yet the 367CX transcends the traditional fishing-boat role, establishing itself as an ideal platform for diverse marine activities.

Interior and Accessories

The dive-friendly deck plan includes a convenient side boarding door with a removable dive ladder, complemented by a transom door. The helm area is well-protected by a fully enclosed hardtop with a safety-glass windshield and side windows, creating a comfortable weather-resistant command center. Positioned starboard, the helm station features a carbon-fiber steering wheel as its centerpiece, allowing companions to flank the skipper on either side. The second row accommodates three additional passengers, with all seats boasting fold-down armrests and flip-up bolsters for customizable comfort even in potentially uncomfortable seas.

One particularly convenient design feature is the passage between the helm seat and portside gunwale, giving easy passage to and from the front-row seats without disturbing the captain—effectively creating dual aisles within the three-row seating arrangement. The front row’s outside seats can rotate aft to establish a conversation area with second-row passengers. Perhaps most impressive is the second row’s 180-degree swiveling capability, enabled by a well-finished fiberglass rotating platform that transforms these seats into a mezzanine position that allow a view aft to overlook the cockpit’s fishing action, or to watch the kids being towed on a tube.

The 367CX’s climate-control capabilities are exceptional. The tall, walk-through windshield can be opened or closed as conditions dictate, and when closed alongside the wind dam at deck level, it effectively seals the main deck from external elements. Full-vessel air conditioning includes strategically placed vents at the dashboard and second-row seating areas. This cools the helm deck in spite of its open aft area, which faces the cockpit. The hardtop features an electrically operated sunroof, enhancing the connection with the outdoor environment when desired.

Below deck, the 367CX offers surprising comfort with a spacious cabin featuring a forward berth, mini-galley with microwave and refrigerator, and a well-appointed head compartment complete with a freshwater sink, shower, and toilet facilities. This thoughtful below-deck design transforms day trips into potential overnight adventures without sacrificing comfort.

The vessel’s core structural integrity comes from Everglades’ proprietary Ramcap construction process. This innovative technique utilizes high-density foam logs custom-molded to fill voids between stringers, deck, and hull, creating an unsinkable, remarkably solid vessel. The commitment to quality extends to every component—hardware consists of heavy-duty, highly polished stainless-steel hinges, latches and cleats.

Nobody else uses Ramcap construction—it was invented by Everglades boats and has proven to build sturdy models. But, Regal does build a 36 ($773,330) crossover that brings a greater focus on general recreation and downplays fishability. Formula’s 389 SSC brings a 2-foot-longer centerline and 8 inches more beam and triple 300 Mercury Verados ($1,332,140) to give an idea of the price spread. Still, both vessels pamper the crew with aplomb. But for more serious angling, the Everglades fishing DNA stands tall.

Standard features abound throughout the 367CX, including a lifetime hull warranty, variable deadrise deep-V hull, self-bailing cockpit, and wood-free construction. The hull employs premium gelcoat with vinyl-ester barrier and knitted bi-axial fiberglass for long-term durability. Interior elements include authentic wood veneer storage cabinets with solid surface countertops, LED lighting, and premium finishing touches throughout. The console and hardtop assembly offer digital switching with touchscreen control, recessed storage with inductive cell-phone chargers, and an integrated hardtop with overhead LED lights, spreader lights, speakers, and electronics access hatch.
