Every mariner desires a vessel that exudes strength, embraces innovation and guarantees an enjoyable experience on the water. These are the cornerstones of the 2024 Heritage Series 188CC by Edgewater Boats, a standout entrant in the Fiberglass Fish category. Promising a blend of structural integrity, commendable performance, and intricately designed features, this boat seems to have it all.
At the heart of the Heritage Series 188CC is a meticulous construction process that utilizes a PermaGrid Fiberglass Stringer System, making it a symbol of superior craftsmanship and durability. Furthermore, the disposing of any standard timber parts in favor of all composite construction showcases Edgewater Boats’ dedication to a no wood policy, invariably preserving the boat's structural integrity.
The boat's variable deadrise deep V hull design underscores its seafaring capability. This model benefits from High-Density Composite Transom and a generous serving of Closed Cell Foam Flotation, creating an equilibrium of stability and buoyancy that any serious angler would appreciate.
Edgewater Boat Heritage Series 188CC 2024’s hardware is laden with multiple pragmatic features that ensure a smooth sailing experience. The stainless steel railings, bow and stern eyes, along with gunwale mounted rod holders, manifest the boat’s readiness for a memorable outing on the water. Swim Platform with a folding stainless steel ladder assures safe and easy movement, and drink holders on the console underline the vessel's emphasis on comfort.
The 188CC includes an electrical system that ensures the safety and convenience of the boat's occupants. LED navigation and cockpit/livewell lights promise excellent visibility, a must-have for the safety-conscious boater. The boat's switch panel is also waterproof, containing several switches, circuit breakers and a 12V outlet, and every potential threat of corrosion is mitigated through the usage of waterproof electrical connectors and tin-plated copper wiring.
The comfort and storage solutions on this model are comprehensive and considerate. Heavy-duty marine-grade UV resistant vinyl upholstery, integrated storage compartments, and a leaning post reinforce the boat's commitment to ergonomic design and practicality. To top it all, this vessel comes with a Yamaha F150 Four Stroke engine, renowned for its robust performance and low maintenance requirements.
In conclusion, the Edgewater Boat Heritage Series 188CC 2024 offers an appealing proposition to thrill-seekers, fishing enthusiasts, and recreational boaters alike. All told, the boat delivers a high-quality boating experience that combines solid construction, convenient features, and state-of-the-art hardware and electrical systems. It truly stands as a testament to Edgewater Boat's dedication to innovation and performance.

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
