Edge boats

[CajunChristian]

Just a FYI, Edge has changed the bottom design of their boats The manufacturer and I do not agree, but, it's his business, not mine. I have set up 3 of the newer design boats and am not pleased with the changes. Oh well, the Edge is now the fastest boat on the water,,,EMPTY!

Soooo, buy at your own risk, I can no longer endorse their product. That is the beauty of paying for your own stuff, you are not indebted to anyone to lie about their products.

Do you want speed or longevity, you can't have both now.

I have spoken with the designer of these boats for the past 2 weeks, begging him to go back to the original design. He seems to think the new design is faster, and it is, if the boat is totally empty. I just don't fish or hunt with an empty boat and don't know of anyone that does. He basically turned this boat into a single purpose race boat. With the new design, I'm talking about if you put ONE battery up front, you lose 10 mph. We tested it with a TLDI, a hot 3 cylinder 25hp Yamaha, and a very, very hot 40hp Merc. Same results with all those motors and about 10 different propellers.
These boats were originally desined for the guys in Arkansas that hunt flooded timber. I guess they all run empty boats, I don't, and neither do most of the guys I help with their rigs????

He won't do 2 models? He should still have the old molds.

He altered his old jigs to build the new boats, so he doesn't have the old style jigs. And he refuses to build both????? I just hope he is humble enough to admit a mistake and return to the successful model when sales begin to plummet.
