Arid Bilge Systems Conversation with Everglades Boats
Alfred: Here to go and talk about the Arid Bilge System on the 395, and how the Arid Bilge System makes the Everglades a better boating dry experience. Here to talk about it with David.
David: Yeah, thanks for being here. You’re on the 395. I’m David Brown, the Vice President of Product Development and Engineering. We partnered with Arid Bilge Systems, and it is now a standard feature on this boat. It really helps keep all of the below deck bilges nice and bone dry.
David: It’s been a huge customer satisfaction item—especially for people who keep their boats in the water. Everglades has been building center consoles for years. We offer a full range of boats from our 245 up to our 455, packed full of technology and patented features. So, we’re really proud to be a partner here with Arid Bilge Systems.
Sean: Hi, I’m Captain Sean Hickey with Everglades Boats. I’m one of their regional managers as well as the captain of the company. At Everglades, our philosophy is using nothing but the best parts we can find on the marketplace.
Sean: The last trip I did was a long trip—over about 2,500 miles over the course of three months. We pulled the boat out of the water at the end of that, and there wasn’t a drop of water in the bilge. And that’s imperative these days with Helm Master systems down there—Seakeepers, generators, you name it.
Sean: The Arid Bilge System delivers as promised. It keeps your bilge dry and keeps your electronics safe.
From long-distance journeys to day-to-day reliability, Everglades Boats trusts the Arid Bilge System to keep every compartment bone dry—no mold, no odors, no corrosion.
It’s a testament to how premium engineering and proven innovation come together to create a better boating experience. When you’re designing boats for the future, every detail counts. That’s why Everglades chooses to stay
