    Switch LEDs

    Looks like may have to swap out entire switch. New wire has regular lamp (yellowish), red and cool white LED. Of course, cool white LED is most expensive https://newwiremarine.com/product/v2d1-aw0b/

    Best offshore model for NE 26'-30'

    I have a freedom 275 on the Cape out of Osterville. I have no issues with it being a bowrider - Dual Console (skunk Boat) LOL ! but I do wish it was bigger. It is always windy (or seems like it) and Vinyard and Nantucket sound are always choppy. Go bigger than you think.

    Newport Boat Show - Prices, wow

    yes boat prices are crazy, I was there as well and saw the same. That BW Realm was loaded though, lots of boat and extras. I have a 275 love to go up to a 307. That southport was nice! I think I will wait for a gently used 307 instead of used. .

    Freedom 285 vs 307

    Following, Current 275 owner looking to go bigger myself. I would think trailering 307 would be tough. I would also rather the 307 for trip to Abacos. Good luck in your search

    Freedom 275 or 285

    I would say it all depends on what you are using the boat for and where. I have a 275 and love it... but do wish I had a 285 or even 307. I live on Cape Cod and Nantucket Sound is choppy more often than not. Going by other boats I have been on, I feel the bigger boat would handle it better...

    I own a car wash and auto detailing facility. Ceramic products do work... but... There are lots of products and lots of company's to choose from. Just like all boats are not the same, the same goes for ceramic products. $1850 actually sounds cheap to me for a full detail, polish, and ceramic...

    Quick spray boat soap

    I am at a saltwater marina, I hose off my boat after every use with fresh water, I do the ol' soap, bucket, and scrub brush as needed. I was wondering if anyone uses a soap in a "foam cannon" hose attachment. I keep getting ads for Salty captain and salts gone etc. Wondering if they work or...

    Freedom Bilge Access

    That seat will lift up and rest on the stern cooler/fish box that way you don't have to lay on your belly to get under the seat.
