I just spent the last 45mins on the phone with Tim from Edge. He is leaving out at 1 in the morning to bring my boat back. He explained the lack of communication between him and Lake Area and told me he worked on my boat all day Friday and it was going into paint this morning. He's gonna be down here first thing in the morning and wants to meet me in person when he delivers it. Thanks to everyone again for all the help.

That's good to hear. Hope your boat is right. Even with all of this drama I want to get an edge in the future.

Tim is a better person than I portrayed him to be. He built me the fastest boat I have ever owned, has done everyting I ever asked him to. All I can say is not to judge someone by what someone else tells you, all that leads to is apologies and regrets.

I ran off at the mouth before I knew ALL the facts. Tough pill to swallow.

Tim is back to building the straight bottom hulls. If you buy one, make sure to get a new model. He is going to look at mine to see if he can tweak it a little while he has it. Overall I'm very happy with the service i received after the ball was rolling. If you buy one and have any issues, just call him direct. Since I have had his cell number, I have never had to leave him a message. He always answers. I think he is honestly trying to please everyone but he's stretched thin due to Edge being a small company.

Danny I would like to have you check mine out when it gets back if you wouldnt mind. I talked to tim about my performance and he gave me a few pointers about setting it up.

scott craft · #8 01-28-2013, 10:55 AM

I would like to get one next spring. Hopefully I'll have the money and no unexpected surprises turn up.

Seen one going down common st earlier. Looked like a cigar. They dont seem to have a wide beam. Looked like the sides went straight up instead of angled out

they're designed like that to get through tight timber.

That's what i thought. Its Just different looking. I really like how the back looks though

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.

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?

CajunChristian · #18 01-31-2013, 04:20 PM

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