    Freedom 275 vs 285

    Thanks for the information, we are on the bay in the west river and our current freedom 21 with the 8 foot beam has handled the bay nicely I’ve had no problem fishing the Thomas point lighthouse in a bit of chop. But the larger beam on the bigger Grady’s will definitely make the ride with...

    Freedom 275 vs 285

    The boat will be on the dock with a lift so no worries about trailering. But I have seen comments about the 275 having a rolling feeling while under way. Most likely a sea trial will put all of my concerns to bed. I definitely think the 285 would be the best fit for what we need.

    Freedom 275 vs 285

    with our first year of boat ownership our Freedom 21 was a great boat and checked all the boxes for what we needed as new boaters. looking ahead we plan to have one more season with our current boat. After this coming summer we are looking to upgrade I would have thought the 255 or 275 would be...

    New owner in Annapolis MD

    we got our first Boat this Year at Tri-state, just a little freedom but we like it so much we have been eyeing up the freedom 275 for the next boat. We are in the west river area right by Deale and Tri-state took care of everything first class. Hope you enjoy your new Grady!

    I’m gonna get some fluid today and try that, hopefully it will help the problem.

    Trim piston stuck

    I was able to get them down by trimming all the way up putting the tilt lock down, (motor stayed all the way trimmed up) then I trimmed down and the pistons went in. I did this a few times and eventually when I removed the tilt lock then the motor went down. I think there probably is a deeper...

    Trim piston stuck

    One piston starts when the locks are activated (motor trimmed all the way up) both pistons go down but when the motor goes down one of pistons won’t go down.

    Trim piston stuck

    My Yamaha 200 will trim up but the second it hits the 2 trim pistons it won’t go down anymore. Any tips?

    Fusion stereo replacement

    My fusion stereo’s lcd screen has gone bad just wondering if anyone has ever changed their stereo, the unit is from the 2013 era and I was wondering if the new unit would be plug in play or if I will have to re Run wire.

    First boat

    I like the 225 because of the increased size which many questioned about the 215. Also, it could last 2 or 3 years before we may want to upgrade to a 255 for something bigger.

    How much life would be left in a 12 year old Yamaha 300? with around 500 hours

    First boat

    We went to the dealer this past weekend, and we went in the 215, 235, and 255. (I'm not sure if I have mentioned that). I think we are going back this weekend to look again. I also would ask how common it is to buy a boat that's hundreds of miles away. Is it very common to go look at it or just...

    First boat

    I understand that the 23 would be much bigger and better. But you do have to consider the 235 is around 135k for a nice used example. Remember this will Be our first boat. I would feel a bit nervous, finding myself at the helm this summer of a $135k boat at 18. The 215 being smaller and not as...
