What can people tell me about Edwing Boats? How do they handle in the ocean? Has anyone heard of any problems with the boats? Also what size of boats does he build.

Thanks

Marv,

I have the 23' VEC cabin model with the offshore bracket and I'm VERY pleased. I've had it out in some pretty rough stuff (for me) and the boat handled it smoothly and predictably. I've got a Suzuki 140 to push it and frankly I didn't think that would be enough motor, but I don't feel that way any more. With just me on board, 100 gals of fuel, a couple hundred pounds of ice and enough fishing "stuff" to catch anything within 40 miles, I ran 36 mph on the GPS. When I picked up my passengers, 2 more adults and my black lab, I still managed a comfortable 32.

Drop me an email if you'd like some pics.
