    The newest edge design is much better than the old. Also edge is owned and warranted by Waco. Who stands behind the havoc warranty? I like the havoc but am unsure if it is worthy yet. Either way, if you buy from Kevin you will have great service and support on your side.


    Edge is not out of business. But they did get rid of their weakest link IMO.

    No edge is still there. If you get a havoc I'd deff wait and let Tim build you one with a pad under it. A regular havoc is bad ass but with a pad under it the potential is unlimited. There has been only one pad boat built as I am still doing some testing. Set up as bow is 12/20 full cleaver and Lwp. If motor is correct hight I think ill have some decent numbers for you guys tommorrow.

    No Edge is not out of business...Kevin picked up 3 brand new Edges from their shop last weekend and took a tour of their facilities about a month ago to see how they were operating since Tim Scott left. He confirmed that they were still making a quality boat in his opinion.

    Yep

    IMO, the wider beams of other boats only appear to have more room. These SEEM to almost be the best of both worlds on paper (wider bottom with the beam of a much narrower bottom boat).

    I've never seen an Edge or Havoc in person, but will definitely look at them before buying any Jon boat

    Just got back from congaree. I figured I'd share what I found out today on a padded havoc. 54 up stream and 57 down stream. Motor needs to come higher because tiller steer is super hard with this cleaver. I am raising motor another inch and back tommorrow to try again after church.

    As in a lot of torque steer? I think Bob's machine still makes a torque tamer to help that.

    Yes tiller steer. It was hard to hold it strait! And yea the post above about being slow I will agree- but if you have done that in a jon boat it's pretty impressive and dangerous brother. Life jacket and kill switch on for sure

    What happens is when you raise your prop so high, it wants to walk on top of the water like a paddle wheel and pull to the side. It basically wants to pull the tiller out of your hand right? Going higher won't help it at all. You need to put some curvature to your skeg.

    Yes it's tough to hold for real! How you gonna go about adding curvature? I met dds for the first time today- he saw the havoc maybe he will chime in on what he thinks

    Anything that can add a wedge or make the skeg want to naturally turn to the right a little bit. Mercury torquemaster gearcases come like that from the factory. You can use thickened epoxy or a good bondo to do the same thing. Or a TH marine torque tab.
