2019 Edgewater 280CC

Step aboard and you’ll notice how beamy and solid this 28-footer feels, thanks to Edgewater’s single-piece infused construction. The deep, secure cockpit and tall gunwales give you confidence when the seas get lumpy, while the flared bow keeps spray off the crew. Up front, the wraparound seating converts from a casting deck to a lounging area in seconds, ideal for switching from chasing birds to dropping anchor for a swim. Inside the console, the finish and hardware feel more like a small yacht than a typical center console. Thoughtful touches—like wide walkaround space, stout hardware, and serious storage for rods and gear—show this 280CC was built by people who actually run offshore.

In this area, conditions can swing from flat mornings to choppy afternoons, and the 280CC’s deep-V hull and substantial bow flare are built for exactly that. Its size is ideal: large enough to run offshore with confidence, yet still easy to maneuver into tighter slips and shallow approaches. The generous fuel capacity and efficient twin outboards make longer runs to distant reefs and rips realistic, without constant fuel stops. At the same time, the versatile bow seating, enclosed head, and secure cockpit make it a comfortable platform for sandbar days, harbor cruises, and evening runs with family or friends in local waters.
