EDGETRACKER 426
Big boat attitude in a small easy package easily describes the Edge Tracker 426 in perfect detail. We've taken the same high- tech boat building techniques used for the rest of our designs and incorporated them here, including the wave busting 20 º hull design that makes for such a such a great ride.
The cockpit is open and uncluttered, giving you plenty of fish fighting room, loads of storage compartments under the deck and fish holders along the side of the hull. Also included is a recessed anchor locker, 70 litre under floor fuel tank and a boarding step for easy access to climb aboard. Easy to maintain and trailer, edge Tracker 426 will provide you with years of family fun and offshore memories.
With their sleek yet simple lines, tillered steered, large deck casting area, handy storage compartments, pedastal seating and a full transom with a boarding step are just a few of the standard features that will be offered in these models.

EDGETRACKER 426 CONSTRUCTION
EDGETRACKER 426 CONSTRUCTION
Just about anybody can build a boat using the Bowdidge Marine Design Plywood Composite system. This method eliminates many members that ordinarily require fitting, fairing, and beveling. Thus, it's ideal for beginners. A jigsaw and drill are about the only power tools required. The resulting boat is incredibly light weight, strong, and durable.
This quick and easy boatbuilding method consists of plywood planking panels cut to shape from patterns in the plans which are "stitched and glued" together at the seams. Such a boat can be assembled in a matter of hours after cutting out the parts.
Build method in summary:
- Build the strongback
- Cut hull parts and assemble onto the strongback
- Glue together and then glass the hull
- bog, fair ready for painting
- Roll hull over
- Glass the interior
- fit fuel tank
- Install buoyancy foam for compliance to meet LEVEL flotation
- Fit and glass the sole down
- Install side decks and other optional fittings
- Paint the hull
- Launch day
