    Freedom 235

    I believe it’s “coastal fog”. It’s a light grey that looks blue at times on water.

    Freedom 235

    I know there are not many used boats out there but if you’re patient you can snag one for way less money. Don’t think getting a brand new boat means you won’t have problems. I know of a recent story where a new boat rigging came loose and they had to be towed in. After a bunch of Gelcoat work...

    Dash Electronics upgrade

    I tried it all and even called customer support. They agreed my slots are just fried.

    Dash Electronics upgrade

    I’m interested to see if what you end up doing. I have a 2015 Freedom 225 and the garmin won’t update (won’t register any SD cards. It’s also a weird year where it has WiFi connectivity but can’t update maps that way (confirmed with garmin). Eventually I will need to replace the panel and...

    WTB. Grady white tournament and/freedom.

    30-40k you could probably find a early 2000’s Freedom 225. We just purchased a 2015 and it was around $70k.

    Rain water?

    I recently went on a trip with our Freedom 225. Was surprised how much water got into bilge from a few bad rainy nights. A lot of water can come in from the cup holders.

    I want to put my boat's name on the transom....

    Just put this decal on our 225.

    OEM horn cover replacement

    Same issue when we purchased our ‘98 Grady and this was my first project. Took black starboard and mounted an off the shelf horn to it.

    Anybody else do this? Where do I look?

    We loved that motor! Loved the boat too but got too small for growing family so sold it last year and now have a 2015 Freedom 225 with a 300 Yamaha. Unfortunately don’t know the shipping company.

    Anybody else do this? Where do I look?

    In 2016 I shipped a used 150 Etec. Had the local dealer I used to verify compression/hours work with shipping company they had relationship with. They boxed it correctly as well. I want to say it was just shy of $600 from South Carolina to Houston Tx. Key was it was business to business...

    Trailer guideposts, how close and how far back?

    1” outside rub rail on each side. Install as far back as you can.

    Trailer options for a GW 228 Seafarer

    I personally need to look at a two speed winch. The one I posted above is hard to get the boat that last few inches. Definitely no need for electric, agree with that statement. I live in Texas and regulation is for just one Axel to have brakes for this size of trailer. After speaking with...

    Trailer options for a GW 228 Seafarer

    Where are you located? There are ma and pa shop options I’m sure. It’s all about the main components being used not the trailer brand necessarily. I used a local shop in South Carolina that sourced a custom new Fastload trailer from Florida within 7 days for my quick purchase of a 225 Freedom...

    Speaker options

    I did that on my 1998 192. Star board with three through bolts. Only thing I would change is add a box or cover behind since the speakers failed every few years due to corrosion on the connections.

    2006 225 Tournament LOA?

    Our 2015 should be similar if engine is installed on aluminum bracket about 3’ behind transom. I measured from tip of bow to tip of prop blade with engine trimmed up was 27’ 9”. So basically a bit over 5’ beyond the spec sheet.

    225 Shakedown Cruise

    We also just purchased a used 225 from 2015. Same hull as yours. I too noticed reverse steering is almost non-existent compared to our previous 192. In windy conditions plan ahead and use wind to position bow where you want while reversing. Otherwise give a bit more throttle than you are use to...
