Edson Boats

[Rob McGinn]

I have inherited/acquired an Edson Monaco, 23 foot cuddy cabin boat ca 1986. The hull looks in good shape and when we give it the side wall test with our fist it is very solid. So lots of glass .The only thing I worry about would be stringer rot but we can check to see if any holes are drilled into them and left unprotected. Anybody familiar with this old brand? They have not been manufactured in years!
The appeal is that both volvo 6 cyl engine and the Volvo outdrive are new within the last 2 years. This was my nephew's boat. .

Canadian made flips of other brands. I think they were made by a company called Marrs, in Brandon Manitoba Quite common in western Canada during the late 70s and early 80s. One that was very common out west was their 15 ft Trihull. a flip of a Starcraft. Rode in one in 1982, and the owner still has it and is in very good condition when I saw it 3 yrs ago.
