Got my boat back this morning. Tim did an excellent job on the repairs. Got to spend a few minutes with him before he had to leave. He really is a great guy. 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.

That's good to hear!

I like the new boat size.

Anxious to see how the new 15'6" long 53" wide bottom Edge will run. We know that a 16' boat of the same width as a comparable 15' boat is about 3 mph slower. Interesting to see the difference if any, with a 6"longer boat.
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.

When it warms up a bit I'm going to have to take you up on that demo ride offer.

When I measured the 550 I had, it was 15'-4" down the middle. Have you measured your 556 length?

My boat is 15'2" from transom to bow.
