Hunter Marine, the nations largest production sailboat manufacturer, has introduced a new boat that is both a powerboat AND a sailboat. The boat, named theEdge, is a 27 foot sailboat that sports up to a 75HP outboard motor.

theEdge features a kick-up centerboard and a retracting rudder, along with over 330 sq ft of sail. Adding to the boats stability while under sail is 1600 pounds of water ballast.  With Hunter’s 35 years of sailboat design experience, this little number is quite a good sailor.

Lift up the centerboard and rudder, dump the ballast, and theEdge takes off at 19.9MPH! She can even tow a water skier.

The versatility of this boat is fantastic. You can sail in the morning, then tow the kids in the afternoon, or sail all day and motor back to the dock before it gets dark at top speed. The boat is also trailerable and pricing includes the trailer. So you can drag to the boat to the Cape, the lake, and anywhere you want to enjoy the water.

Advantage Yacht Sales has an Edge currently in-stock and available for viewing. Enjoy introductory sail-away pricing of just over $40,000. Contact Jack at 978-463-3663 for details.
