32' Edgewater 318CC Saltwater Fishing

Manufacturer Provided Description

The EdgeWater 318 is built using a unique single-piece infusion (SPI) method in which the structural grid and the hull laminates are simultaneously vacuum-bag infused with vinylester resin. This process allows the grid and the hull laminate to cure at the same time and essentially makes the boat one solid piece. No wood is used in the construction so the boat's structural integrity won't be compromised by rot or delamination. The SPI process also adds strength and rigidity without a lot of extra weight, so the boat is lighter than it looks--a terrific asset when it comes to maneuverability and fuel consumption. In addition, closed-cell foam is injected between the structural grid members to make the EdgeWater practically unsinkable. 

Given the layout, I could easily use this boat for fishing, water sports or just running downriver to the nearest crab house. Beginning forward, the anchor locker has a finished gelcoat interior equipped with an anchor windlass and wash-down system. Just aft, an integral bench seat conceals self-bailing storage. A fish locker (equipped with a macerator pump) fits snugly underfoot. The bench seat just forward of the console comes with a removable Igloo cooler. Both side decks have lockable rod storage lockers hidden in the outboard bulwarks. One thing I noted in particular was the fire extinguisher built into the portside deck--a safety feature that can't be underestimated.   

The stern accommodates two live wells and a transom door that leads to the integral swim platform and engine-mounting area. To starboard is a sink with a freshwater washdown/shower hose. The test boat came equipped with an optional fold-down transom bench seat. A fish-cleaning station, rocket launchers and a cooler are located conveniently behind the helm seating. Pumps, tanks and storage are easily accessible through the aft deck hatch. 

The console "dashboard" has plenty of room for multiple electronic displays and offers access to the head, located below. The head compartment is roomy and provides excellent access to the batteries and electrical connections--a great way to keep everything dry. The test boat has an optional T-top with built-in lights and speakers, plus an overhead emergency equipment bag. 

Under way, the EdgeWater 318 CC really shone. Twin Yamaha 250s responded to the lightest touch on the throttle, and the boat climbed onto a plane with minimal engine noise. I easily carved tight turns at speed, slicing through my own wake. With a 24-degree deadrise at the transom and a fine entry forward, the hull is built to handle big water. At a cruising rpm of 4500, we made 33 knots and only burned 25.5 gallons of fuel per hour. Because the engines were new, we couldn't open her up, but according to Yamaha's test results, the twin 250s should top out just over 50 mph.
