How We Build:

  Experienced boaters know that the true measure of quality often lies hidden beneath glossy finishes and fancy marketing claims. Edge Marine welcomes a closer examination of our boats and the process in which we build them, as we are certain you will be impressed with our deep rooted commitment to building a better boat. The difference between an average boat and a great one lies not only in the materials used in construction, but also in the care and expertise with which those materials are assembled. With more than four decades of boat building experience to draw from, Edge Marine has refined boat building to a perfected art and each boat we build is our latest "master piece". While others cut time and cost by relying on outside vendors and assembling boats from simpler pre-formed components, Edge invests the extra time and painstaking labor needed to create true hand-crafted boats. Our expert boat builders, all whom have been building boats for years, carefully hand fit each and every piece to exact Edge specifications. With this extra effort Edge is able to achieve a degree of strength, longevity and quality unmatched by any "assembly line" builder.

 
Performance:

     The Edge jet boat from its initial conception has harbored the single focal point of developing maximum performance into a pleasure craft. At the heart of Edge Marine is a family that is deeply rooted in white water boating and pleasure. Real Race technology is now integrated throughout the entire edge marine line. Components that make up an Edge Marine Boat is the, Radius Bottom, FAST System, and Lifting Strake Package, and Stealth Exhaust.

Radius Bottom:

The Exclusive Jet Radius bottom design was originally developed to gain a competitive edge in the highly competitive white water racing circuit. The unique bottom offers improvements in planning, acceleration, straight-line speed, turning radius, payload capacity, shallow draft displacement and fuel efficiency. Further the Radius Bottom Hull is stronger pound for pound in terms of a collision with a obstacle, than any other bottom type available today.

     Why does the Jet Radius Bottom work so well? Simple, because it creates far more lift upon the water surface than does any conventional hull available today. With more lift you can go faster and further with less power.

     The Edge Marine goal has been to develop a boat with superior handling at all speeds and safe in all conditions; a boat that is predictable, while still being an absolute thrill to drive! The Radius Bottom Hull has allowed the family for the first time ever to produce a boat that is just that.


 

WAVECUTTER BOW... Features a high rising chine and long spanning keel. for a bow shape that lifts the hull to the top of waves and then gracefully slices through the wave tips. Perfect for “White Water or wind chop. you remain dry and have a very smooth ride!

RADIUS KEEL...
Is the Perfect blend of a “V-Bottom” and “Flat Bottom”, developing maximum lift with minimum drag. The result is a boat that does not “push” water, but instead runs cleanly on the surface for greater speed and efficiency!

REVERSE CHINE & STRAKES... Is a critical component of the Radius Bottom, creating superior traction and lift preventing ”slip” ordinarily associated with all other conventional hulls. The result is a boat with a stable, but extremely tight turning radius in either deep or shallow water!

HIGHFLOW INTAKE... This exclusive intake is specifically designed to blend with the Edge Radius Keel. The result is a perfect passage for water to the Jet Drive. Whether it is sharp turn or aerated White Water, the jet remains positive charged for maximum traction!

More Tech Talk on the Radius Bottom

     Picture for a moment the bow and bottom shape of any vessel you can think of. There are two traditional types of hulls: V or modified V hulls and Flat Bottom Hulls.

In a V Hull the bow and/or bottom shape is knife-shaped and designed to penetrate the water with the least resistance, pushing the water aside. This bottom works fairly well in straight line applications, as it is good for planning. It is also relatively smooth riding, and can be adequate for rough water applications, but is slow, handles poorly while cornering due to limited lift, has a very limited minimal draft in shallow water applications and is inherently inefficient as it tends to "sit" or "drag" beneath the surface.

The flat Bottom Hull creates better lift, making for a quicker, faster, better-shallow running boat, but it is very uncomfortable to ride in, as the flat hull tends to "slap", making for a very rough ride. The Flat Bottom is also very difficult for a beginner or amateur boater to operate as it has very unpredictable handling, and it tends to "slide" uncontrollably while cornering and/or running in rougher or white water conditions.

Edge F.A.S.T. System

     The internal combustion engine depends on a critical fuel/oxygen mixture for optimum power and performance.  A well-known fact of turbo-charger technologies is that cooler air has more oxygen per cubicc foot than warm air, the molecules are less active and are closer together.  Specially designed cowling scoops on the gunwale of a Edge Marine jet boat captures fresh cool air from the exterior of the boat, pipes it through insulated ducts and delivers it directly to the engine.  This results in more power and efficient fuel consumption.

In most jet boat designs, the intake air comes directly from the covered engine compartment and is up to 3-4 times warmer than ambient air temperature.  This substantially reduces horsepower and efficient fuel consumption.  Additionally, in the remote possibility of a backfire, the explosive gasses are funneled outside of the boat instead of inside the engine compartment, reducing any risk of fire.

Versatility

Versatile … Finally, one boat that will deliver everything you wish on water!

Edge Marine’s Model line up is all about versatility … real versatility.

Edge Marine has finally taken note of all the customers out there that share the same complaint of how it takes ”too many boats to do all you want to on water; one for bass fishing on lakes … one for salmon fishing on rivers … one for skiing and one for camping or playing”. For those of you who feel one boat should be able to do it all, look no farther. Edge’s unique hybrid design results in a boat that can pamper passengers, swallow cargo, thrill drivers, cater to skiers and fishermen alike and be at home on Oceans, Lakes, or Rivers!

Durability with Style

Bulletproof, but Beautiful!

Durable … The boat that will not brake, rust, or rot!

Edge Marine’s Heavy Duty, All-Welded Aluminum Construction with Dura-Beam Bracing and Single Piece Compound Formed Bottoms, provides a hull with an unmatched strength to weight ratio, bolstering great performance with matchless muscle. Designed to tame boulder strewn rivers, this “Muscle” gives you the peace of mind to confidently take your Edge wherever, whenever.

We invite anyone to take a closer look at Edge’s exclusive construction methods. Several decades of building boats means we've learned a few things along the way. We know how to make boats that are built to last. Edge boats are crafted with care and expertise, using only the highest quality materials.

The closer you look, the more you will be impressed by our quality which is built into each and every boat. It is why we offer a Limited Lifetime Warranty for every hull we produce.

Style … family fun never looked so good!

Our team of Edge builders consider it more artistic metal manipulation of aluminum rather than boat building … one of our customers calls it the new definition of “Precious Metal”. Whatever you want to call it … it is special. Never before has a company went to such great lengths to successfully offer a all-welded aluminum boat with such a perfect blend of sleek styling and progressive designs.

Finished off with the industry’s finest custom paint and interiors, no detail is over looked. Our paint is richer, our carpet is thicker and the standard features we offer are simply second to none.

Yeah, we think our boats are pretty cool looking. Don’t you agree?

Fun and Easy

From trailer to ignition to launch … no boat is more … Fun and Easy!

Feel like being a kid again … you know when Dad and Mom took care of everything and you worried about nothing but having a good time. Well, that is the feeling you can have again. Edge Marine has engineered your boat for ultra simplicity and reliability! Dual batteries … so you never have to worry about a dead battery. Self Winterizing Engine … so when you park it your done. EZ Care Interior … just take the hose to your boat … no mess is more than a few minutes to clean up.

Just get to jump in, hit the key and have FUN! Everything else in life should be so easy!
