Post Edge boat?
Looking at getting the 1542 edge boat and putting a 23 mud motor on it, has anybody seen or used a mud motor on this brand boat? How did it run? I know what your going to say about the light gauge but I don't run stumps so it will not be a problem.

Edge is a fairly new boat, so I doubt many people have played around with mudmotors on them. But I may be wrong.

I know Edge is the new rage for all the green timber guys here in Arkansas.

When I called they said it could be upgraded to any thickness, but I have ran a .050 ga Jon boat (beet it to hell but it still worked) and now I have a custom 1338 built from .063 with three long stringers and it is holding up fine, for where I run. So the 90 should work also.
