As an ardent enthusiast of marine adventures, my interest was piqued by the new launch from Edgewater Boats – the 2024 Edgewater Boat Crossover Series 280CX 2024. This sophisticated Fiberglass Fish boat is masterfully crafted with advanced technology and meticulous attention to detail, promising a superlative on-water experience.
The Crossover Series 280CX 2024 boasts Single Piece Infusion (SPI) structural system construction that offers unparalleled stability and durability. Its robust constitution is further bolstered by the use of high-density composite for the transom and zero-wood, all-composite construction; enhancing its longevity. Of course, it’s not all about durability; it’s about maximizing your sailing experience. The self-bailing, non-skid decks and variable deadrise deep V hull ensure a smooth and safe journey on the waters.
The feature that sets the 280CX substantially apart from its competitors is its versatility. It seamlessly blends fishing amenities, luxury features, and family-friendly attributes. The ample storage provided in the helm and the convenient prep station with tackle drawers signal a thoughtful design aimed at facilitating easy fishing.
The iconic fiberglass hardtop further adds to the cachet, housing several electronics boxes and rod holders. It also sports the Lenco recessed electric trim tabs with indicators and an integrated starboard helm footrest furthers the comfort and ease of the captain.
Diving into the finer details, the on-board cabin promises a comforting getaway with a plush convertible starboard double berth and a comprehensive electrical system that includes underwater blue LED lights. The thoughtful inclusion of an electric head with holding tank, overboard discharge, and dockside pumpout further amplify the convenience and usability for long journeys.
Echoing the same sentiment of convenience, the various seating and storage capabilities are both impressive and handy. With heavy-duty marine grade UV resistant vinyl upholstery, and a seating setup that includes bow lounge with backrest, an aft facing cockpit seat with 48QT removable cooler, and a folding stern bench seat with backrests – relaxation is not merely a possibility, but a guarantee.
Safety, ease, and robustness synchronize seamlessly with design nuances in this fiberglass fish boat. Edgewater's 280CX 2024 flaunts a perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics that every boating enthusiast will value.
Ending on a sound note, the Edgewater Boat Crossover Series 280CX 2024 holds a promising position in the wake of innovative design, impressive features, and meticulous crafting. That's why it comes with a 'not-so-surprising' price tag of $398,600 – something that’s justified by its well-rounded prowess. It's everything a water-lover could dream of bundled in one sleek package!
With the 2024 Edgewater Boat Crossover Series 280CX 2024, Edgewater Boats undoubtedly sets a new benchmark in the world of fiberglass fish boats, and opens up a novel avenue of possibilities for every single journey out on the sea.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
