People don't come much better than Danny. He's helped me more than I deserve. One of the best people I've ever met. Hope your problem gets solved.

I agree 100 percent, Danny helped me out with my Edge problem!

Aaron5082, Tim's "next week" and my "next week" were about 2 months apart! Lake Area ended up taking care of my Edge not Tim!

Well I just posted some pictures on the Edge Facebook page, along with a few words to the owner. Hopefully that will get some attention.

Posted pics of the welds on fb last night and got a call at 7 this morning from the owner of Edge. He apologized several times and is driving down next week to pick my boat up. He begged me to remove the pics from fb. I told him I would comment on them saying he is fixing the problem but would not remove them until its fixed. Hopefully this will resolve the problem. Ill keep yall posted.

I'm beside myself thinking of how they could let welds that look like that even leave their shop. That's a shame! If something that easy to spot gets by, what else is or could be lurking??

Hope this situation turns out for the better!

Like I said, it's all about shot placement. Hit the right spot, you get results Now, that being said, I really wouldn't put much stock in what Tim told you about "next week", his "next week" and our "next week" may be months apart. I have heard him tell Lake Area "next week" and not show up for 3 months. Don't lose the owner of Waco's number.

Looks like some of my welds lol. That is typical for thin aluminum to crack on side the weld. My weldbuilt is the same way. My next boat will be 100 gauge.

I found your post and the pic. I told you it would get quick results. Now, I will take bets on Tim showing up next week. I'll give you 2-1 odds that he won't show next week. There will be an excuse such as he had to go to Kentucky for warranty work, his welder was out sick, his uncle's counin's nephew 's wife had a baby.

Stay on that facebook page. Get the guys from here to go to that post and make comments. When Tim sees that it is costing him big money, something will get done. With Tim, the squeekiest wheel get the grease first. He has so many waranty problems, he takes care of the most vocal first.
I beleive that a company should sell a quality product and back it.

Mark from Lake Area just called and asked me to bring my boat up there. Gerald has one of his guys leaving at 2am tomm. to drop my boat off at Edge. From what ive gathered Tim and Gerald have had some words this morning and there not waiting on tim's (in a week) lines he told me. So again thanks to Lake area for doing their part.

This will get the boat to the Edge people, but real question is will you get the boat back .......in a week? Be sure to inspect all the repair work before you take the boat back home.
