EdgeWater 340CC

If you are looking for a rugged and versatile center console that is equally adept at handling leisurely cocktail cruises or hardcore fishing expeditions, look no further than the EdgeWater 340CC.

The 33-foot, 4-inch boat has a beam of 10 feet, 6 inches, and it packs a lot onto this nicely sized footprint. The vessel can be configured with a maximum horsepower of 900 when equipped with three 300-hp outboard engines, and has a top speed just shy of 60 mph.

Mark Felhofer, who operates Bay Marine Yacht Sales, had EdgeWater build this model just the way he wanted — dialed in for how people actually use their boats in this area.

“We currently have one in stock,” Felhofer says, “and it’s one of my favorites! I have driven it myself so I can truly speak to how fantastic it handles in our conditions. Plus it’s the Blackout Edition, which means all the trim, logos and the helm are blacked out. And the sound system is amazing too. It’s a pretty sexy boat.”

No matter if you want to fish or cruise, the EdgeWater 340CC can handle what you throw at it.

“You can fish it hard if you like,” Felhofer adds. “It’s got fold-away seating in the stern, so if you’re cruising, you can sit, but if you’re fishing, you can make room for everyone. It’s even got a dive door on the side for hauling in tuna or whatever. We don’t have those in the Great Lakes, obviously, but it’s good for swimming too.”

The boat has myriad seating options, providing comfort anywhere onboard.

“It has bow seating, a seat facing forward in front of the console, helm seating for two, and then, depending on the configuration, you can have a full port-to-starboard bench seat for four or five people,” he continues.

The model also comes with an option for a Seakeeper, which will keep it steady and sturdy in a rousing chop out on the lake.
