2012 Edgewater 268CC

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the wide beam and deep freeboard make this 26-footer feel like a much bigger platform, especially when the swell kicks up. The transom layout on the 268CC is a sweet spot for owners who split time between trolling and family trips—livewell, fold-away seating, and an easy walkaround to chase fish or help kids at the bow. The console hides a surprisingly roomy head, a real plus for long days offshore. High gunwales and grippy decks add confidence when everyone’s moving around. Add in generous storage for rods, dive gear, and beach bags, and you’ve got a rig that’s ready to pivot from sunrise runs to the grounds to sunset harbor cruises without compromise.

The 268CC shines in waters where you might run from calm harbors to choppy afternoon conditions in a single outing. Its offshore-capable hull and substantial freeboard handle wind chop and boat wakes with ease, keeping crew dry and comfortable. Range and efficiency from twin 250s give you the confidence to push out to local banks, kelp lines, or island runs without feeling stretched. At the same time, the manageable size makes slips, moorings, and tight launch ramps far less stressful than a larger offshore rig. Whether you’re chasing seasonal pelagics, diving, or just anchoring off a beach, this model fits the mixed coastal lifestyle perfectly.
