Here's my edgewater
This is the only picture I think I have of the boat in my computer and as you can see we are not fishing. Thats the beauty of a 23 ft Center console, you can talk momma into it for boating and recreation for the kids. However I am impressed with the little edgewagter's ability to handle the nasty 4-6 footers Lake Erie can serve up on a moments notice. the 225 Yamaha four stroke can push 4 people just over 40 but troll down to 2- 2.5 which is good for Salmon but i need to drag bags for walleye and it makes it hard to steer. So we could use a 9.9 or 8 Yamaha hig thrust. It trailers nice and has a great Sound system with Clarion Marion and bose speakers and sub woofer under the seat. Garmin 2006 I think is fine but I won't pretend to know 90 percent of what it is capable of. It does everything I need and I would be lost without it.
The Edgewater is well built and solid and you don't have to worry about any wood getting wet and rotting because there is none in hull. The T top and bow rail is extra heavy duty aluminum aand the fittings are all stainless. Livewell is large lit oval and sink and washdown work great. Not much room in the stearn area because of large leaning post and center console eats up a lot of deck space. Fishes 4 people comfortable but we have had as many as 12 fishing on the boat. We just keep everyone up front out of the way until its their turn if we are trollin.
Can't wait to get out probably next weekend if all goes well. The snookdaddy usally goes out of sterliing bolles or Fenwick this time of year. Gimme a shout on the 2 way if your nearby love to hear from you.

Trailers pretty easy (2 of us can trailer her in almost the same time as 18')
Great fishability
Will handle the worst conditions
Built like a battle tank
Not terrible on fuel (I can do 1.5 mpg if I don't run over 3200)
Dislikes:
My truck gets almost as bad of fuel mileage when I trailer LOL
Poor birth for sleeping but then again she's a fishing vessel
I'll try to add a better pic, there doesn't seem to be a better one on this computer

My 1987 four winns 241 liberator. 454 with bravo 1 not your normal fishing boat.....but had to get one that would fill the speed freak in me too and the needs of a growning family to be.
likes...FAST and LOUD, Lots of seating to take ppl with me if we go to the island, plenty or room in the cuddy, cold fridge, handles the waves very nice, even on plane in 4 to 5 ft, open space to fish for both walleye and perch.
dislike no place to get out the sun( yet ) or the rain or wave spray. can't troll she idles at like 6mph, only has a 454 not a 502 or bigger ( maybe next winter ) won't stay on good plane much under about 22mph but on the other hand cruised real nice at around 35 mph at 2800-3000 rpm
