2008 Edgewater 228CC

Step aboard this 228CC and you’ll notice right away how thoughtfully the space is laid out. The helm has plenty of knee and toe clearance, so you can run her standing or perched on the leaning post without feeling cramped. Wide walkaround space makes it easy to work a fish from bow to stern, and the non-skid decks give real confidence when things get wet. Forward seating doubles as a comfortable lounging area for family days, then converts back to open casting space when it’s time to chase pelagics. Storage is abundant and smartly placed, with room for offshore gear, safety equipment, and all the extras that always seem to come along.

This 228CC shines in waters where conditions can shift from calm to confused in a single tide change. The size is ideal for slipping into shallow inlets and back bays, yet she’s substantial enough to run the nearshore lumps and reefs when the window opens. Short chop, swirling currents, and tight channel entrances are where this hull really earns respect, delivering a dry, predictable ride. It’s an easy boat to keep on a lift or trailer, simple to handle with a small crew, and versatile enough to cover inshore fluke and striped fish one day, then run offshore for tuna or mahi when the forecast cooperates.
