Paul, it's been terrible since I left Citgo. I am forced to sleep in my own bed every night, I have ALL holidays off now, work no overtime, actually work no time. There is life after Citgo. It has been a wonderful 10 years, the best of my life. And at the same time, I must say that Citgo was very good to me. I have nothing but good things to say about the way I was treated before and after I left.
Lake Area is now the Edge dealer in this area. They will stock the 1550 and the 1556. My 1556, called a 556, weighs 352 pounds empty.
What makes them so fast??? It's all about the bottom design. Notice in the video how the boat sits up on the pad and flies??? Well, there really is no pad, just a well designed bottom. As for hopping up a 4 stroke, mine is a 4 cylinder 40 with a 60hp ecu, that's it. It runs just like a 4 stroke 60 would run. And the 556 Edge is rated for a 60hp motor.
The boat runs 52mph with just me, a large battery, and 12 gallons of fuel, 49mph with another 200 pound man.
Anybody want a ride, just drop me a line at
