EdgeWater 280 CX: Epitome of a Crossover

The most challenging part of describing the EdgeWater 280 Crossover is…where to start.

The Crossover’s dual console, its ample space for entertaining  (or for fighting fish) and its ambitious amenities hint at the boat’s “do everything” mentality.  

This utility boat is practical…yet appealing.  It is pragmatically unsinkable and yet….sexy.

The fact is that EdgeWater’s entire Crossover series of boats truly do offer the fishing crowd, the cruisers and boating groupies the opportunity to shape their own experience within an EdgeWater Crossover.

The Edgewater 280 CX is a true crossover. 

The 280 CX, specifically, is as comfortable in rough offshore seas as it is inland, pulling a cadre of kiddies on a tube. Neither mission is neglected as EdgeWater designed the 280 – the flagship of its Crossover series - to pull double and triple duty.   

The most telling feature of the 280 CX’s versatility is the space designation: there’s a spacious cabin that includes six feet, eight inches of headroom, a galley, a head with electric toilet and holding tank and a sleeping berth. Topsides, this Crossover welcomes a crowd with circular seating for seven in the bow, twin double-wide helm benches port and starboard, plus a pair of fold-up aft bench seats at the transom, including a tuna door in the starboard corner.

The boat engineers at EdgeWater don’t neglect practicality in favor of design; the proprietary “single piece infusion” (SPI) construction ensures that the hull components bond as one extremely strong and rigid piece. In addition, the process used to bond the components also promotes resistance to osmosis, reducing the likelihood that the hull will blister. Another benefit of the SPI process is the lighter construction, resulting in better fuel efficiency.

Overall, the 280 CX offers most of what nearly any recreational boater will need, rivaling not just other boats in its own class, but many other boats in general.

We're Going to "L"

When it comes to luxury, most Americans think that Europe has the market cornered. But that’s not the case. American luxury manufacturers include the likes of Cadillac, Lincoln and Sea Ray.

Yes, Sea Ray.

There’s no question that Sea Ray has been courting the luxury market for years. With some Sea Ray Sports Yachts and Yachts extending more than 50 feet, amenities galore, ample seating and designer-like details, Sea Ray has caught the eye of luxury aficionados.

Sea Ray's new L650 Fly marries style and substance. 

And now, luxury boaters will have another reason to use the “L” word when considering Sea Ray: the introduction of  the “L Series” luxury boats, starting with the L650 Fly, which debuted last month at the Miami Boat Show.

“The L-Class speaks not only to Sea Ray’s commitment to purposeful innovation, but also to the company’s strong legacy of impeccable craftsmanship, performance and service,” declared Tim Schiek, president of Sea Ray. “It’s a marriage of style and substance—because we firmly believe in the importance of both. We could not be more pleased to present the L650 Fly as the first of many L-Class models on the horizon.”

The L650 Fly is a bridge boat to exceed all expectations, from its powerful performance capabilities to its state-of-the-art technology to its superior comfort and livability.

The L650 Fly offers nearly everything a luxury lover – or anyone – could ask for: generous space for relaxed entertaining, multiple dining stations, a welcoming and ergonomic helm, elegant, large master suite and two well-appointed staterooms, sunpad playpen and much more.

Not content as mere eye candy, the L650 delivers a top speed in excess of 30 knots, all the while employing anti-vibration and noise reduction through Comprehensive QuietRide™ technology.

The Sea Ray L650 won’t be delivered until 2015, but take heart, luxury lovers: we have a whole year to consider its possibilities on Long Island waters.
