Many boats in this size range feel like a stretched version of a shorter model, but the 273CC is designed to feel more like a smaller offshore boat than a bigger inshore model. She has tall hull sides, a large livewell and fishbox, and a deep-V bottom design with 20-degrees of deadrise at the transom. The 273CC also has the versatility that a family is looking for with cruising amenities like bow lounges with removable backrests, seats that fold into the transom and a private head in the console.

The Bow

Everglades has placed a premium on passenger comfort with seating at the stern and in the bow.

The bow is a great illustration of the 273CC’s versatility. On each side, there are adult-sized lounges with backrests that can be removed quickly. The console also has a seat for two on the front. The gunwales on each side have stainless steel beverage holders, connectivity plugs, and speakers.

The bow has a cruising feel with the forward-facing backrests and wraparound coaming pads powder-coated grabrails.

The console seat has space for two and the outboard bolsters are raised to help keep occupants in place. There are also grab handles on each side of the seat to enhance passenger security.

Bow Storage. The bottom cushions for the bow lounges are hinged and fold up to access lockers that are finished in gelcoat. Beneath the bottom cushion in the bow is an insulated 97-quart cooler. In the foredeck, there are two 8” cleats, plus separate navigation lights, combination rod and cupholders and the anchor locker that houses the windlass and all related equipment. Adjacent to the console seat, gunwale compartments fold inward to provide extra capacity. Two bungee-style latches hold down the console seat bottom cushions that opens to access the cooler in the base. Just ahead in the deck is an 82-gallon fishbox.

A smart design, the hinged bottom cushions in the bow open without requiring the removal of the backrests.

In the 273CC’s anchor locker, there is a Lewmar windlass with a safety cable and cleat for tying off the bitter end, plus access to the rode below.

Gunwale lockers open into the passageway and the cables keep the hatches from dropping to the deck.

The Private Head. Passageways on each side of the 273CC’s console are 19” wide and a hatch in the port side provides entry to the private head. Inside there’s 5’3” of standing headroom. The 273CC’s head has a porcelain toilet, a screened opening port, expandable netting and open and closed storage. Two hatches make it easy to access the helm rigging.

The head door has vent slots cut into it to help keep fresh air flowing through and the snap strap is used to hold it closed.

The Helm

A unique feature to the 273CC is the power front windshield. It raises and lowers with the push of a button and can be stopped short of the top frame to let fresh air pass through. The helm has a compass in line with the port side steering wheel. Centered in the top of the angled panel is the 7” Yamaha Command Link Plus display. Trim tab buttons just ahead of the digital controls make it easy to adjust the tab position while keeping one hand on the steering wheel.

16” Garmin GPSMap 7616xsv multifunction display with push-button style accessory switches in a row across the top. There is plenty of blank canvas left on the dash for install of a 2nd Garmin 7616xsv.The VHF radio is mounted overhead along with the Fusion Head Unit and Optimus Display

Ahead of the companion seat are a stainless-steel grabrail and a glovebox below. The helm seat has individual fold-up bolsters.

The top is built on a powder-coated aluminum frame and it contains speakers and courtesy / spreader lights.

Ahead of the companion’s knees is a locking glovebox.

The Cockpit

The Prep Station. On the aft side of the leaning post, the prep station has an open sink to port with a cutting board in the center and a 31-gallon livewell to starboard. Grab handles are integrated into the countertop and outboard to starboard, there’s a beverage holder. To port below the helm seat is a locker with slots for Plano-style tackle boxes.

The livewell is finished in blue and has rounded corners and an aeration system. The acrylic hatch makes it easy to take a peek at the bait.

Four tackle boxes slide in place beneath the helm seat.

The Aft Cockpit

The 273CC’s cockpit has 108 sq. ft. of space. There are two rod holders on each side with 8” cleats in each aft corner and racks for rods or long-handled accessories in the gunwales. Fresh and raw-water washdowns are in each corner. Across the stern, two seats that fold down when not in use flank a 45-quart cooler.

To get to the stern, it’s easy to step on the cooler hatch. A swim platform with a boarding ladder underneath is to port and to starboard.

With the back seats folded in and the center cooler hatch closed, it creates a raised casting deck.

When the aft seats are up, the recesses create a bucket-like arrangement that should make passengers feel more secure. The nonskid cooler hatch is also the easiest way to get to the stern.

Racks in the gunwale on each side have space for long-handled accessories such as gaffs and brushes and the bungees help keep things in place.

One would be hard-pressed to find better access to batteries, livewell, and bilge pumps than on the 273CC. The whole area with seats and cooler aft easily lifts for bilge/pump/battery access. mote all this area is finished off and gel coated making for easy cleaning.

Performance

The Numbers. Everglades lists the 273CC’s empty weight at 6,400 lbs.. With twin 250-hp Yamaha outboards, two people, 78.5 gallons of fuel and gear on board, it has an estimated weight of 8,415 lbs.

Revving up the two engines to 6000 rpm, you may hit a top speed of 51.5 mph or even more.

Best cruise at 3500 rpm, running 32.1 mph and burning 17.2 gph. That works out to 1.9 mpg and a range of 264 statute miles. At 600 rpm, the boat runs 3.5 mph and at 1000 rpm, around 5.9 mph. (all performance numbers are estimated and dependent on load/conditions) 

Handling

The 273CC’s sharp bow entry and deep V design with 20-degrees of transom deadrise cuts through the chop easily. In turns, she holds her line extremely well. Around the docks, the twin engines make for easy maneuvering.

Even with hefty winds trying to blow her off course, the 273cc tracks cleanly.

Construction

Everglades builds the 273CC and all its boats with its unmatched Ram-Cap process. Large pieces of 6-lb. density foam are molded to fit (like a jigsaw puzzle) exactly into dedicated places in the hull, which has been prepared with glass and resin to create a bond. The foam tops are covered in resin and fiberglass and then the deck and liner are set in place. All pieces are then placed under a vacuum, creating one solid and practically bulletproof piece. Everglades is the only builder that utilizes this process.

A note about Power 

The F250 weighs 551 lbs. Double that and the result is 1,102 lbs. for a weight-to-power ratio of 2.204 lbs. per horsepower

The F200 is a 4-cylinder and the 25” version weighs 489 lbs. Do the math and the weight to power number is 2.44 lbs. per horsepower, and of course, it does not have the torque of 6-cylinder engines. Other 273CC’s out there with Twin F200s will not stand up to this boat with the F250XCAs.
