I actually appreciate seeing how they are made. People can argue about what method/materials are best but showing the build process is honest. You know exactly what you are paying for.
Thank you @everglades team for all that you do. First drive in your boats and you know immediately it’s on a different level. Safety and quality are #1 , hands down. Thank you!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽👏🏼👏🏼
One of the best videos made to date with production of boats. The details, the time taken, and the professionalism of every step...Hands down best job showing what you wanted to show. We had no idea of how many steps are taken outside the box to make every step right the first time. We want to thank you and your team members, for everything you all do to make us "the customers" happy and most of all safe.
I am an Everglades 243 owner. Love the boat. Watched your video, very impressive. Having worked in the nuclear industry all my career I see some similarities between your process and systems and the nuclear quality systems to assure public safety. One comment, your video implies (during the QA discussion) that quality control is not as important as quality assurance, because you assure quality by training your staff. In what i saw, you in fact use quality control by inspecting what you expect and I did see that in every step of your process. I congratulate your company and your product. My son and i marvel at the fact that our 2006 boat looks as good as the day we bought it after 13 years of use.
When I make enough $$$ I will join the Everglades boat owners club. Simply put, Everglades builds the most structural, well thought out, functional boat, that is both beautiful and fish able. I hope that my first Everglades is the 435cc, but any Everglades is a step up from my current boat!
Hi. I'm totally sold on your boats but would like to know if you're planning on introducing batteries instead of generators, or having such systems as an option? I can't remember the manufacturer, but they already are working with these systems and there seemed to be many advantages
You people need to figure something out other than building these things by hand. Do that, and you can get these things down into the luxury car price range and your sales will skyrocket.
Everglades Boats well it looks like one is right side up and one facing the opposite, easy fix, but it doesn’t take away from the quality of the boat, just a simple oversight that I’m sure was corrected… it happens
I see a lot of chopper gunned glass!!! That’s a huge NEGATIVE when spending that kind of money on any boat! Grady White hand lays all the layers on their boats!
That is absolutely nonsense. Gunned glass can last forever if applied correctly. Whalers have always used gunned glass and you still see decades old boats in the water.
HDaviator It’s not how long it lasts, there are thick and thin spots throughout the hull. It’s not near as consistent as hand layup. The glass to resin ratio isn’t as consistent either.
AUClay chop has no binders and is easier to roll out. I recently moved our skinout department to chopper. We’re about 20 to 35% faster on each part, with a 60% reduction in voids due to glass bridging. We shoot 60 mils for skin, which is 0.06”. Operator variance when I surprise them with a mill gauge is plus or minus 0.02”. I would rather have a boat with no voids or fine aeration in the laminate, rather than freak out about +/- 0.02” thickness variance.
AUClay glass to resin ratio is more consistent with chop if the system is calibrated. Operators tend to overwet chopstrand mat in order to break down the binders. Skin coat should be a little resin rich for better osmosis resistance.
The corporate buzzword managerial ego stroke is a bit much. Love the boats but your team tried way too hard to say how up to date they are with current processes and standards. It felt very forced and completely ungenuine and comes off as needing too many high dollar figureheads to make simple decisions.
I'd prefer to watch the process rather than a long commercial comparing how your company builds boats better than anyone else. I got so annoyed that I had to stop watching.

As an everglades boat owner who has been on lots of boats the 243 is the best 24ft boat I have ever stepped foot on

I love these " we're better" vids. Great looking boat and great information.

Wow, thank you for such wonderful feedback! We felt it was high time to pull back the curtain and show *why* we're so proud of our process. :)

Nice inside look at engineering to final assembly. We couldn't be happier with our 243 and all other boats at the dock pale in comparison.
It's kinda wild that bob's son Steve started his own company literally right down the street from you guys
I am a big big fan of the 273

Good luck on your dreams my friend! I'd like the 33. God bless and grind u til you get it.

Impressive is the first word that comes to mind.
Outstanding job on this video Everglades team!!
Thanks so much! It was a great experience with the Kelektive media team.
Everglades Simply Is My Reflection .. From Kuwait
خلك عالمهلب انا اقول
Abdullah Al Khulifi =💩💩💩💩🐒💨💨💨
Love my 260CC great boat however support sucks no online libraries on old models don’t know why but, after 13 years we need info for diy repairs
More metal shop! 💪🏼
23:25 Guess the tech hasn't signed off on that upside down control pad.
Good eye my friend!👍👍
Sold!
Looks like a lot of overhead at your facility, VPs aren’t cheap. That could explain the boat prices!!!
surprisingly good video
Thanks for watching! :)
so they install their switches upside down? Great quality. @ 23:26
The Bed Doctor totally missed that.
They already answered this - the console was resting upside down prior to assembly.

Do that, and you can get these things down into the luxury car price range and your sales will skyrocket.
That would explain the price point.
if the foam is in the hull how is the hammer test valid?
It's a demonstration of its integrity
_"most manufacturers don't..."_
American center consoles made me really respect americans!
#bestboatonEarth
all chop strand??? ugh
These are made with a chopper gun? You’re telling me these aren’t hand laid for the price they ask?
I don’t see too much of a difference between other boat manufacturers that justifies the higher price tag, but thank you for the video.
If you were to ever get a chance to actually tour the facility you would understand
@@christopherbrandt1895 I think bob's son Steve is doing better
I would like to see it's performance in 40km/h wind speed
Might wanna check the video at 23:26… that customer isn’t gonna be too happy…
Haha, don't worry, the console was resting upside-down. When installed, the switches are right side up. ;) Good eye. Thanks for watching!
Everglades Boats well it looks like one is right side up and one facing the opposite, easy fix, but it doesn’t take away from the quality of the boat, just a simple oversight that I’m sure was corrected… it happens
@@EvergladesBoatsUSA Not the case at all, but I'm totally sold on your boats...
How much presidents you have in that firm 😂😂😂
All that money, for a chopper gun boat.
Not just chopper gunned. It’s laid with layers and chopped
The VP looks like George Bush
I wish y’all would make these boats affordable for all

@@Richard-do1hb im not paying up for chop
too much chopper gun usage for my liking. No thank you.
