They have had that one boat in stock for two years now and have yet to sell it. I was aboard it last summer at the ShilShole boat show. They have had zero takers going up against BWY and MacGregor.

You are right about the price however. Many of the recent M's BWY has been selling have been loaded to the gills with extra equipment and big motors pushing their price over the $50k line.

I actually looked at buying the Odin860 with I/O http://www.odin-marine.com/index.php?dz=8 unfortunately, it was a little beyond my $price$ range. Very nice boat though. Rob 8)PS: I'm very happy with my :macx:

Duane,

Several have sold in the seattle area, and a couple in Vancouver, Most of the people wanted brand new boats that havent had people trample them it seems. Fairly common. I sailed the vancouver demo boat 19 months ago in the winter. Nice boat, However I paid less for my used hunter H40 than even the current asking price for the demo. But I will say. Some people may think that the extra width doesnt mean anything. I beg to differ. feels much more spacious, and cuts down on the heeling. two nice features.

My understanding is the new edge has enough new features and a few salon mods

My understanding is the new edge has enough new features and a few salon mods to warrant a new demo boat
