2003 Edgewater 225cc

This 225cc brings the classic, overbuilt Edgewater feel in a size that’s easy to own and run. The wide beam and high freeboard give you a confident, dry ride when the afternoon chop kicks up, while the padded coaming bolsters keep everyone braced and comfortable. You get a roomy bow area that can swing from casting deck to lounging space, plus deep, secure walkaround access to the anchor. The helm layout has that straightforward, no-nonsense ergonomics—clear sightlines over the bow and smart storage for tackle and gear. A sturdy T-top offers welcome shade, and the transom design makes it simple to work lines or slip in for a swim between bites.

In these waters, conditions can turn from glassy to stacked-up chop in a hurry, and the 225cc’s hull is built for exactly that mix. Its size makes it easy to trailer, launch, and tuck into tighter slips, yet it still has the offshore DNA to confidently work nearshore reefs and open stretches. The open deck layout suits everything from morning fishing runs to sandbar days with the family. Shallow approaches, shifting channels, and surprise squalls are all handled by its solid construction, predictable handling, and reassuring freeboard, making this model a smart, versatile choice for local boaters who demand flexibility from a single hull.
