I own I believe the 2nd rickter edge imported in USA since end of 2014. Been trashing it in the surf since brand new. Hands down the strongest hull there is. Perfect fit and finish. Will take lawn darts, flops, pancakes, you name it like a champ. Its a pure surf weapon. It rails hard, its heavy and perfect for big surf or nasty chop salad, it will cut through it all. My personal opinion is this hull comes alive with bigger engine. Its too heavy and digs too much for small power. If you like idling around in the surf and occasionally hitting a wave then that heavy bish is not for you. She likes to be pushed hard, on the throttle at all times. Both front and rear sponsons are must. Stock scupper flap should be banned for life. Extra soft shock pad on top of the rock hard stock one is a must. Stock foot holds are toe murderers, require extra padding and a bit trimming. Front foothold made of underpading is great. Stock turf sucks.
I forgot about the toe killers. I actually broke my left-sided small toe twice over 2 years kicking in. Partially my own fault I'm sure. Real shoes (vs. surf booties) are a must.
