All reports indicate Everglades are fine boats and could be a good Whaler alternative. I would debate any claim that Everglades designs, build quality or safety features are superior to those of Whaler.

The single advantage, for some buyers, is that Everglades are powered by Yamaha engines. Given that all new engines are roughly equal I would always choose a US manufacturer when buying.

I have heard of several instances when a Whaler dealer would agree to remove the factory supplied engine and rigging and replace it with a different buyers choice of engine. This is often done with full credit for the removed Mercury. I don't know if the mega dealer, MarineMax, is quite that accommodating.
