    Is bigger really better?

    I have a 2012 Freedom 275. Love the boat!!! We boat out of Osterville MA, which is the south side of Cape Cod. It seems like it is always windy and always rough in Nantucket and Vinyard sound. I have started to look at bigger boats, not for this year but maybe next?. My thoughts are a...

    Looking To Move To Cape Cod

    I live in Sandwich (north side). My boat is at Crosby's in Osterville (south side). The Bay will be a bit flatter more often than the south side due to winds out of the south. From Yarmouth you can easily trailer to either side. On a good day yes the Vinyard is duable. You can hug the coast...

    285 Freedom

    I have a 275. I have nothing to compare it to but love it. We have the full enclosure on it so with windshield and door closed you are basically inside. Bow seats can get a little wet but I think that would be with any DC. Great boat!

    Cleaning life jacket mesh storage

    I have a Freedom 275. I just removed the life jackets and left mesh in place. I sprayed the mesh with a bleach/water mixture, then wiped it down. Came out great.

    New Axiom + installed ! So far it is great. Very easy to use! I was able to use my current radar and transducer. Of course I can upgrade those down the road if choose.

    Cuttyhunk

    We had planned to run over to the Vineyard from Osterville Sunday morning for breakfast due to lack of wind but when we woke up the fog was a little too much for us so we decided against it. My wind app showed the wind picking up at about noon so we went to the beach instead. Needless to say I...

    electronics upgrade

    OK called my local marine electronics shop. I am getting the new Raymarine Axiom+ 12 My Radar will be compatible, as will my transducer. If I want to upgrade the radar to latest doppler I can do that down the road. I am going to assume my transducer will not support the 3D and sidescan, but...

    electronics upgrade

    Max, any regrets on not upgrading the radar as well? It looks like my digital radar and my DSM30 are compatible with a new Axiom. I don't use radar often so not sure I can justify the expense. Fowl is the only difference between the 2 is that the pro has buttons?

    Speakers under gunwell - 6 total for Fusion stereo

    I had a RA-670 installed on my Freedom 275 6 total speakers. I believe the head unit powered 1 or 2 channels and they added a Fusion MS-AM702 2 channel amp for the other 1 or 2 channels. I used fusion 6" round marine speakers (not box type). It sounds good, love the blue tooth, it also hooks...
