Edge boats

[PaulMyers]

I'm usually hard of hearing like that also!

My dad's graduation ring to the top of my head used to fix that, :o but unfortunately he is no longer with us.

I sure miss him sometimes though.

The 1650 with the 40hp runs 38mph!

Yep, they are nice boats. Yep, they are fast boats. I have the first 1556 they built, high 45" deck and bench seat across the back. Boat weighs 352 pounds empty. I run a 4 cylinder, 4 stroke, EFI, Merc with a 60 ecu. With me, a 12 gallon fuel tank, large starting battery, with my fishing prop, boat runs 52 mph, add aother 200# man, boat runs 49 mph. Handles like a pad boat, turns on a dime. Give me a day or two notice if you want a test ride....

how fast would the 556 run with a tldi 50 with a 15 or 16 inch prop?

We missed the boat show this year. Sorry to have missed them.

Any idea when they'll have a price on just the hulls?

call Lake Area Marine

[flounder_smacker]

they are light because they are made of .090 aluminum. 3/32 of an inch. if you run around a bunch of stumps prob not a good idea.

Alweld is .100 gauge on most of their new boats and Alumaweld use to be .080 along with most other makers..... if its made and braced right .090 should be fine or atleast as good as others

If you run around a bunch of stumps a mud motor type hull is probably better. Compared to Jon boats in the same class edge boats will probably do pretty good. Definitely better than 0.80 boats.

Has anybody run a tall transom 550 w/ a short shaft 25 3 cylinder Yamaha on a CMC T & T unit? I've heard of the 40/50 Tohatsu's running this setup. Just wondering how this would work with the Yamaha before I order my 550 w/ a short transom.

any pics?

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.

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.
