It's an Edgewater, don't think they are tied in with Donzi. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure the founder split from Whaler and they use the same construction methods.

Maybe 20 years from now I'll be able to afford a 2007 model ;D

I actually don't even mind the Euro-transom in this boat because the space was utilized for storage/livewells or whatever without significant loss of deck space.

I was thinking the same thing.

Finally! A new boat in the 20' range, small cabin forward, and a large cockpit. I actually don't even mind the Euro-transom in this boat because the space was utilized for storage/livewells or whatever without significant loss of deck space.
Admittedly, for the money, it's hard to beat an old V20, but for someone in the market for a new boat in that size range, family friendly but still a fishing machine at heart, there ya go!
Nice work.

Yup. Edgewater Boats was founded by ex-Boston Whaler exec Bob Dougherty. He was one of the founding members of the BW team I believe. I worked for them when they were up here in my home town in MA before they moved to FLA. Mr. Dougherty has since moved on from Edgewater and founded Everglades Boats.

I also like the small cuddy design of the edgewater but it could definately use more flair for sloopy sea conditions and the everglades is also a nice design so if money were no object they would be excellent choices. I still believe that if wellcraft came out with a V-24 along the same exact lines as the V-20 it would be an overnight sensation. Frank

only going on what the lady rep at the Raleigh show for Edgewater told me. she said they were owned by Donzi.

off Edgewaters website

EdgeWater began with a handful of able craftsmen. We have maintained this small company mentality but now have large and growing company resources. In 1994, North Marine Group injected the financial, management and technological resources that enabled EdgeWater to become what it is today-- a leader in the design and construction of small, semi-custom boats. North Marine Group is a technological leader in many fields; its products are found on everything from America’s Cup racing yachts, to the space shuttle.

By the way North Marine Group is owners of Donzi and Tiara.
