He even went over some other welds that werent to pretty and made sure every one was done correctly. I must say it was a great job on the repair. He talked about a new boat model that he should be finished with next week. Its a 15 1/2 x 53. He said he is putting a very hot merc on it (80hp) and expects speeds in the 60's. It may be something to look at if anyone is in the market for a new hull.

I know one thing, a straight bottom with the Edge bottom will run. And it will turn
So yes, all new Edge's will be built with straight bottoms as per Tim. Just let me know if you want a demo ride in a 556 Edge with an old 4 stroke hung on the back.

Do you know what the beam will be on the new boat? What is the beam on your 556?
