Default Eliminator 234 Edge

Just wondering if anyone had feedback on the hull design? I"ve never seen one run, or knew of anyone that owned one.

Thanks.

Owners love 'em...expecially now, since we've taken them out of production...

Well that's encouraging I guess. Hopefully they weren't removed from production because of any kind of design flaw I hope.

I've heard good and bad, so I was just wondering what the sentiment was over here.

Thanks for the insight.

No design issues...just a production decision (building bigger these days). We've "retired" a few other molds with the move to the new shop.

Thanks for the replies,...

Is the Mod-VP Edge a relatively fast hull? To me, anything over 80 mph is moving pretty good. Would they be safe at that speed, and is that a resonable goal for this hull?

Hi, New to offshore only.

I have an Edge 234 1992. It cuts the chop better than any v-bottom i've been in but not as well as my friends Daytona 25. We run on Lake Shasta in Ca. 18 to 24" wind chop isn't uncommon.
It has a bowtie block bored to 4.50 that makes it 508.93 inch. cast # 10051107 with Ross flat top pistons. Stock GM Hi-perf Iron head square port #14096188 116 cc that makes it 8.5:1 compression ratio. A cam that I don't have any info on other than it isn't roller but is plenty lumpy at idle. roller rockers. 850 double Holly, MSD, EMI Thunder exhaust.
Bravo one 1.36 ratio. 22 pitch 4 blade.
The boat runs low fuel and one person at 82 mph GPS at 700' elevation @ 5550 rpms. A Very stable, fast, good looking boat imo. Thanks.. AWL INN~

It's a great boat today just as it was 20 years ago. It blends the best of both worlds, a cat and a v-hull. I have had one for years and it is one of my favorite boats. Great swim platform/step that takes you right down to the water. Handles better than a cat, but packs air at high speed like any tunnel hull. Mine has a modified 454 that is dependable all day long and will run a little over 80mph. It also has 2 thirty pound bottles of nitrous under the back seat that provides a thrill ride like no big boat I have been in. Top her out and hit the button and it jumps up on a cushion of air and takes the f off. Top speed is a product of how big your you know what’s are and how long you can hold down the button without getting scared. I love the EDGE.
