Currently, we have an old,1980's 25 merc on a 16.5' new Marshrunner, and it makes 28-30 mhp. With a newer motor, you get more speed, of course!

You guess. 4 stroke, 4 cylinder, 40hp Merc with a 60 ecu, turning a 16 pitch prop 6250 rpm on an Edge 556. You will see a lot more of these hulls real soon.

Never heard of an edge boat. Where can I find some info on one? Not to be smart, but what makes them so special?

What you been up to Danny? I haven't seen you since you left CITGO.

i got my boat up to 38mph saturday, with the wind and the current pushing down river, it was awesome, but i was only doing 26 up river hahahaha

[outcast]

I can pole my action craft 1.9 mph in a 10mph headwind.

[CajunChristian]

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 acts1013@bellsouth.net

Got a guy in Indiana with a box stock, 3 cylinder, 30hp, yamaha, with aluminum prop, running 35+ on the 556. I have his buddies 3 cylinder yammie in my shop right now, sprinkling a little magic dust inside It will mount on a 550, should be quick.
So far, it is the fastest aluminum hull we have found.

Are y'all having any porpoising issues with these wide widths? Are you running jack plates on them? How do they do in the marsh?

The only one they have in stock is a 1650, OD green. Here is a pic of mine at the factory and apic of the motor with the decals and a shot of the back so you can see part of the bottom:

Danny, you still in the same house? I need to come visit sometime.
