I have owned your exact boat. Don’t listen to anyone that says it isn’t set up for serious fishing. Those are just CC guys that haven’t owned a DC. They for get a 60’ Viking is laid out the same way…guess those aren’t serious fishing boats to that crowd. Get the GW hardtop rod holders. That...

In both of my boats all the chargers are in the aft compartment very close to the batteries so that isn't an issue. I just wanted to share that having the battery back there and running the cables to the front is neither unsafe nor any more difficult. I would suggest it is better than having a...

I know this is an older thread but I have some relavant info. I had a 307 freedom before I bought my current 325. The 307 had the LiPo TM battery installed just behind the fuel tank, in front of the regular batteries. This is in the rear bilge/hatch area. It did have a cable running up to a...

$195,000 get it before the 4th if July!

I’m selling my 307 and just bought a 325. So the 307 needs a new Capt. Boat is in Jacksonville, FL. No trailer but can deliver within 150mi. She is listed on Boat Trader. Asking $199,900 Lots of upgrades and regular service and repairs. Everything works and looks great. -Dual Simrad NSS Evo3...

Look under your console. By the helm

I had a friend that wanted this on his non Grady CC. The Grady dealer here in Jacksonville wouldn’t sell him one. It’s basically a 2.5in AL solid machined down to what you see. There is about 2in of 1.25-1.5in diameter threaded section that screws into a stainless bolt welded to a backing plate...

What these guys said is good advice. YouTube is your friend. If you have power at the switch then find the pump and supply it with 12v directly and confirm proper operation. Leaking fluid will not cause the pump to not run. It should make noise. Sounds like an electronic issue. IF the pump motor...

On the 307 I have a hatch on the floor that lifts up. It is right in front of/under the flip up seat. On the CC I think this is not not made to open. My bilge pump is easy to access from this. If yours is in the same place (same hull right?) it might be worth it to remove that panel. Especially...

Yes there are 4 small thru bolts with nuts on the back if memory is correct.

But not as dry as a DC.

Good call on that!

^^This. We are 50-70 miles offshore. I have a SpotX, EPRIB and PLB. Last two for emergency. SpotX for comms with preset messages...you get 10 and can customize them.

Biased opinion here as I own a Freedom 307. Started fishing on similar sized CC. After a few very wet Bahama crossings I knew my crew would not like that. So when I moved into a "fishing" boat I knew it was going to be a DC. Great day boat and very capable fishing boat. We HST in NE FL in...

Out for a cruise Sat evening and had a bottle of wine in the sink with some ice. I hear a clunk behind me and see the sink collapse down into the cabinet. See pics. It looks like there were some L shaped white plastic clips that secured the sink to the countertop with just some silicone...
