I have an Edge OC-1 and I have a question about it. If someone has one or knows of anyone with one please 'pm' me.
Thanks much in advance!

You mean the fiber slalom Edge?
I know someone paddling such an OC1 but he's not active here though.

How personal is this question? Why not just ask?

Had already sent a PM...
...but I'm with John - as to why the secrecy.

Sorry for the "secrecy" guys. Nothing malicious meant at all. I just wanted to connect to someone with whom I could get some measurements on an Edge. I'm wondering if my saddle is in the correct location and curious about thwart lengths.
Thanks for the feedback.

For thwarts - I make boat width as measured from side to side 24inches. That is to say from the fiberglass sandwiched between gunwale on one side, to the fiberglass/kevlar/composition on the other side.
On the boat at hand - my front/bow thwart measured at 67 1/4" inches..... and the stern/rear thwart 66 inches (precisely 65 7/8ths). These could vary with saddle length. More importantly for my weight, height, arm length, torso, style, opinion ... I like to sit 3inches back from center.
Good luck & enjoy - these are really nice handling boats, with a not so easily duplicated feel.
