One of the features separating
EdgeWater boats from other leaders of
the industry is their exclusive Single Piece
Infusion (SPI) structural system. Weight
is critical for superior hull performance
and fuel economy, and EdgeWater’s SPI
creates an incredibly strong, one-piece,
unsinkable structure that can endure the
most extreme stresses – a comforting
thought whenever you’re caught in a
storm offshore. And their boats will float
level if swamped.
Some of the outstanding features of the
EdgeWater 320 Centre Console include a

355-litre livebait tank, closing rod boxes
so you can protect your reels from a
salt bath, six gunwale rodholders plus
a rocket-launcher rod rack storing six
outfits on the hard top. The cockpit is
fitted with stainless-steel toerails to give
you a secure footing in sloppy seas, and
you’ll also find a leaning post complete
with rigging station and tackle stowage,
and a huge 587-litre fishbox in the
foredeck that is large enough to store all
your tuna.
