With the same deep-v hull as the EdgeWater 230CC, the 230CX offers phenomenal offshore performance, while maintaining a 15” hull draft. At the transom you will find mounted rod holders, a built-in fish box and a 28-gallon insulated live well that can double as a cooler on the days you won’t be fishing. The 230CX also comes standard with a fresh and raw water washdown and a full prep station complete with a sink. Removable cushions on the transom seating create a more spacious cockpit with a large casting platform, and they easily snap back into place if you need extra seating for the family.

At the helm you will find enough space for either a 10” or 12” Garmin, a VHF radio and a Fusion stereo system. The 230CX also has the option for auto-pilot and radar for boaters who love to run offshore or take trips down to the Keys. On the portside there is an enclosed, vaccu-flush pump-out head, ensuring you won’t have to cut your day away on the water short.
