| 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 cubic c
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!
