    New Freedom 205

    I just pulled the trigger on a new 2016 Freedom 205 with a 200 Yamaha. It's in production right now and I should have it in a couple of weeks. I've been away from boating for over 20 years and I can't wait to get back to it. My previous boat was a 1989 Offshore which we ran out of Indian River...

    Cape May Area

    I am in the same situation and the same area, Delaware. I choose the 209 and wouldn't go any smaller than 20 foot for the lower bay and ocean. The Delaware Bay can turn ugly in a heartbeat so you're going to want something with some weight and freeboard. That being said, I know of a lot of...

    Taking a 209 offshore

    I'm strongly considering a new 209 with a 200 XB Yamaha. I would like to be able to take it about 30 miles out on good days. Does anyone have any experience taking a 209 out this far.

Turns out that he bought the boat "as is" with no survey at full asking price. I can't blame the dealer for taking that deal. Now I...

    200 yamaha HPDI

    Is it reasonable to expect a 2001 Yamaha 200 HPDI with approx. 600 hours to last another 5 to 10 years? The motors have been maintained by a dealer to date and are reported to be up to date with the maintenance schedule.

    Accessibility for persons with disabilities

    Thanks. That's the sort of lift that I'm looking for. I would rather have it be attached to the boat but if I can't do that I'll deal with it

    Need advice on 265 express

    I am considering a 2001 265 with 200 HPDIs 600 hours. The boat is in good condition and is a single owner boat. All maintenance has been done by the dealer who is selling it and they also sold it new. I will of course have a survey done before the sale. Any advise or comments will be...
