What am I?

Post by Sir Adam »

Boat is in the Northwest...At first glance it looks like an Acrobat, but the edges aren't round-if you look from the stern you'll notice quite an edge, almost like wings...is this a severely cut Acrobat (seat is 6" btw), or an Aerobat or Edge?

How did you find out, and what IS an Edge? Is it a squirt or slalom boat. It looks pretty cool! 8) Is the boat now one of yours?

Squirt...

Post by Sir Adam »

To the best of my knowledge the Edge was on of the first Squirt C1 designs able to Mystery Move. I'm not sure who designed it (most likely Hearn / Lugbill, by the wings, but I don't really know). It's owned by one of the posters here in the Northwest US.

If I recall correctly the Edge was the first design, then the Aerobat, and finally the Acrobat. All of them were designed off of slalom boat hulls.

If anyone has any more info on these boats, let me know! They are among the very few "missing links" in the C1 Rec boat section!
