2003 Edgewater 247 Center Console with only 223 hours!
Edgewater was founded by the well respected Bob Dogherty who left Boston Whaler to design and build a better boat. This 2003 247 cc design was one of the most successful hulls produced. With such low hours and two knowledgeable owners it is not likely you will find another in such great original condition. Never stored outdoors or in the water makes this boat shine when compared to all others. The two Yamaha 150 hp HPDI's give you the reliability you want when going off shore. Other optional equipment includes a Lowrance LCX-104C fish-finding Sonar with Mapping GPS, a Minn Kota onboard battery charger and new batteries now with about 5 hours on them, new front dodger and tee top canvas, and an aluminum tandem axle trailer to get you to the water when ever you want! Another interesting feature that you will like is the rear fish box was converted into a live well which is about 40 gallons in capacity. While you may find another boat with a great hull or the right motors or even one that has been stored all its life in a dry central Florida warehouse (instead of near salt water), I doubt you will find another with all the attributes of this setup. The fact that the hours are so low is the icing on the cake! Available for inspection in Mt Dora, Fl. for $39,500

Some notes from the Edgewater website (EWBoats) the boats feature: VARIABLE DEADRISE Deep-V Hull with a sharp entry point. The deep-V hull found on all EdgeWater boats has a high entry angle that delivers a smooth dry ride by displacing water away from the boat while a wide bow flair keeps it from rolling back into the boat. The hulls also feature a higher degree of deadrise at the transom for added stability in rougher seas. LARGE REVERSE CHINES. The large chines on an EdgeWater deflect water down and under the hull, acting as two points on which it balances. These points provide a great deal of dynamic stability for a more solid ride while also increasing lift and reducing drag for a faster, more efficient running hull. PADDED RUNNING SURFACE. A clean, flattened keel area at the stern of the boat improves running at higher speeds by letting the boat sit back on the pad, providing a comfortable bow angle and not locking the boat into an undersireable, low running angle. HIGH TRANSOM ANGLE. Through the incorporation of a higher transom angle, the engines can be tucked under the boat for getting up on plane quickly and by trimming the engines up, control the bow angle without depending solely on trim tabs. SECONDARY CHINE. The long sweeping lines of an EdgeWater make it pleasing to the eye, but they also serve a greater purpose. The style lines provide stiffness to the sides of the hull and act as secondary water deflectors, keeping water from running up the sides. HIGHER FREEBOARD and WIDER BEAM. EdgeWaters benefit from and are typified by their higher profile on the water. A deep freeboard creates a safer cockpit while the wide beam creates a roomier and drier running boat. While not every EdgeWater will venture beyond the inlet, every model is designed to do just that.
