1993 Edgewater 262CC

Step aboard and you’ll notice how much open deck space this 26-footer really gives you. The wide beam and high freeboard keep everyone feeling secure when the chop kicks up, and the deep cockpit makes it easy to work a fish around the bow without gymnastics. The helm layout is clean and modern, with plenty of room to stand or sit comfortably on the leaning post for long runs. Forward, generous bow seating and padded coamings turn this fishing machine into an easy sunset cruiser, while the ample storage under every cushion swallows gear for the whole crew. Hardware, hinges, and latches all feel solid in hand, reflecting the rugged, unsinkable construction EdgeWater is known for.

This 26-foot center console is a sweet spot for local waters that can swing from glassy calm to steep chop in a single afternoon. The variable deadrise deep-V hull softens the ride when the wind stacks up, yet remains efficient enough for long runs between harbors and offshore structure. Twin outboards provide the redundancy and confidence you want when you’re miles from the dock, as well as the punch to stay on top of shifting conditions. Generous fuel capacity supports full-day outings, while the secure bow seating and deep cockpit keep family and crew comfortable when the lake turns lumpy. It’s equally at home trolling, bottom fishing, or just exploring new shoreline.
