I read the entire thread and would agree with alot of what was posted. I would try to make some mods to your Freedom that make it more conducive to your type fishing than get a new boat. Try that for a season and if its still not working than try for a new boat. RUF in your post It seemed to...

You always have the option of adding a aftermarket or custome built hardtop to the boat your interested in.

I would get some helm time on that boat before you spend money on trim tabs...they are a nice accessory sure but you may find you dont need them....I run my 96 208 with a 200 Merc optimax and no tabs....getting used to throttle and trim took a few trips and I decided i could do without the tabs...

Im a Ford Guy so I would suggest an F 150. If your buying new get the ecoBoost V6

2x 225s with a tower sounds underpowerd... what do you plan on doing with the boat because if you really want it maybe removing the tower is an option????

I have seen several F-26Tiger Cats for sale...BoatTrader and Ebay.... All are the Cabin model...I thought there was a center console offering...what is the model name of the CC??

a Marlin 300 is my dream Grady..I actually thought about purchasing this salvage vessell after I too saw it on Ebay,,,,I was hesitant about it though because looking at the pictures I knew it was more than I could handle (read hire someone to fix it).Thank you for all your posts....I decided I...

2 weeks = 14days. If it costs say 3500 to repair your boat the repair figures to 250 a day...3500 divided 14 ways.... a 35000 dollar boat is costing you 2500 a day...both equations are lessened over time but for that one year thats how it figures. I would go with the repair... Im sorry to...

Are you shopping new or preowned?? Either way I would suggest you split the difference in the motors and go with a 200 plenty of power for tubing and save a few bucks. As for a T-top take the money saved on the motor and get a nice aftermarket T-top as opposed to a factory option. You save...

definitely functional...I fish Jersey..A Bimini and curtains work just fine

or tell your friends to stand not so close to the back of the boat

LMAO...me and all my friends are decent size. maybe replace the scuppers and see if that helps

Dont know what pricing is but my guess is over 300,000

Glad to hear you passed. 8000 sounded like WAY WAY WAY to much for that boat..If you want to spend 8000 on a project boat you can probably find something that you can enjoy as you fix it. The way you described it sounded like a "what you could see" evaluation. I'd bet a paycheck (yours not...

Thats a good question and i wish I could offer more input other than I repowered my 1996 and don't have that problem. I repowered with a 200 Optimax. What did you put on your boat?

GW204 is 100 percent correct about the forward thru hulls too. they are like a ten dollar part with agrravation attached of you want to replace them yourself. I paid to have mine replaced.
