After spraying the gelcoat layer, Edgewater lays in all the dry ingredients, such as specially engineered fiberglass and Divinycell coring. Then it encases the laminate in a plastic bag with a strong  vacuum pump attached at one end and the vinylester resin supply on the other. Turn on the vacuum, and the pump sucks the resin throughout the laminate. The bag, combined with the vacuum pressure, prevents excess resin buildup and any air bubbles or voids. The resultant hull  has an optimum glass-to-resin ratio and better than any ratio achievable by older lamination methods.

This boat incorporates an all-new structural grid concept for Edgewater. The company engineers the entire structural grid to accept every hull element such as fuel tanks, storage boxes, pumps, filters, rigging, cabin liners, etc. in a precise   position. Everything fits exactly.

The transom and stringer grid are made from composite and glass that are bonded into the hull right from the start rather than glued in after the hull is finished.

Other nice innovations include pop-up buttons from stem to stern that let you tie fenders where you need them quickly and easily. In the galley, slide-out dish racks, a hidden trash barrel and a pullout 12/120-volt coffee maker keep the living quarters clean but not Spartan.

Another unique feature lets you zip open enclosure sections and slide them over other panels, effectively creating an open window without rolling them up or tacking them to the overhead. The back of the enclosure snaps to the overhead, so you'll never have to remove and store the panels.

This boat has a notably deep cabin with higher-than-average headroom. A small, C-shaped dinette area includes a beautiful teak table, which drops to form a berth for two (one in reality). The forward V-berth can accommodate two modest-sized people, and the midship berth can handle two as well. However, if all the crew members are guys, figure that the 335 sleeps three.

Significant others will like the Caradon counters (an expensive marble substitute) and the novel mirror inside a drawer in the head, which folds out and functions as a vanity mirror for anyone seated on the commode. It's thoughtful touches like this that will convince your significant other that this boat is well worth the money.
