Fantastic 2010 American Fisherman EdgeWater, BOAT. Boat in excellent condition for recreational use. Ready for a test run on the water. Built by fishermen for fishermen. Of the three Express models currently in the lineup, the EW 265 occupies the middle ground with its 8.53-meter overall length. It combines a fishing deck with interiors designed for cruising, creating a very appealing blend. Born for the open ocean, the hull handles even challenging waves with ease, a fact we verify in the wake of a ferry. The EdgeWater 265 EX remains firmly planted with a steady trim on the water and, above all, experiences no significant pitching motion on board. Course setting is precise and easy to manage, thanks in part to the responsive steering; visibility is excellent in all directions, allowing for constant monitoring of the surroundings for maximum safety during navigation and maneuvering. But it is the turning performance that surprises us, with an unusual ease even when the GPS indicates a speed of 39 knots. The boat leans onto its inner glide plane during the turn and closes with precision, without yawing, after which it re-positions itself with equal ease for straight-line navigation. Roll is decidedly minimal at a standstill, while during navigation it is practically imperceptible. The minimum speed, when trolling with live bait, is 1.8 knots without the use of a trolling valve, while planing is lost at around 15 knots. To buy.
