Edwing Ocean 23
Posting this link for a friend on another board. This is a really tuna killer. Chaps has an Ed Wing as well and these boats are indestructible!

So Crabbait is selling his boat? Thats a nice machine, I remember reading his posts on Ifish when he was putting that together. I don't remember it getting a big Honda at the time though, that must have come later?

I just picked this vessel up over the weekend. Hauled her up to B.C. and started cleaning and preparing for fix up's and mod's. I will post pic's as soon as I can.

I have been cleaning her up and finally had enough and took her out this weekend. I am very impressed with the hull design of this vessel. Topped out around 43 mph (smooth water, empty with only 2 guys, and 1/2 fuel). Thought it would pound more that it does but rides real nice.Trim tabs IMO are a mandatory piece of equipment on any alloy boat. Thanks desert dog for posting the add on here. Posted pic's in the About section of the forum.

I love what this dude says[i]........"I strongly considered taking my boat to Costa Rica but the cost of importing and retrofitting makes it impractical (it would have to be white or the aluminum would turn into a frying pan)."[/i]
Cuz its a cabin maybe....other than that. Heck I'm in Fla. and have zero headaches about it.

Yeah I hear ya. I don't know what crabbait was talking about the heat thing. I know he said the import (protectionism) thing was unreal but I don't buy the frying pan comment.
What do I know 3/4 of my fishing time is in Stanfield woolies and full blown rain gear :D .
I have found the cabin to be quite nice and I'm sure if you opened up the windows on a hot day the air flow would take the heat out of it.
Up here the cabin is a must. I'm going to put a Wabasto diesel furnace kit in it this fall for winter Chinook fishing and prawning.

I've noticed that if an alloy boat is sitting on a trailer out in the hot sun it can get pretty warm but once it is sitting in the water the entire hull cools down pretty quickly as the aluminum is a great heat conductor.
