    Also considering other 26-28' DCs like the Scout Dorado 277, Pursuit 266DC, and Blackfin 272DC.

    Freedom 235 to 275...

    Thanks. I was hoping to get some feedback from folks who have a 275, particularly anyone who moved up from a 235.

    Freedom 235 to 275...

    I considered the 255, but I have a feeling that I'll always wish I went with the 275. The next size up, the 285, is an entirely different boat and a whole different price category. I think the 275 is ideal...used. The used 275s in the 2021-2023 range cost about what I paid new for my 235...

    Freedom 235 to 275...

    I would like a slightly bigger boat with twin engines. Don't need it, but really want one.

    Freedom 235 to 275...

    I'm having serious upgradeitis. I love my 235 and it's perfect for the type of boating my wife and I do. However, I got to spend some time recently on my buddy's brand new 27' Sportsman with twin 200s...and man it got me wanting a little bit bigger boat. Twin engines are a game changer. If I...

    The name looks great, but what up with the registration numbers?

    Mold cleaner recommendations for caulking

    Do you know if there is a way to buy just a single use amount of this anywhere? Amazon only sells it in packs of 12. Do the dealership carry it?

    Zipper stuck on overhead storage compartment

    Definitely something you need to use once in a while just to make sure it doesn't get all crusted up. I hadn't opened that zipper in probably two years.

    Zipper stuck on overhead storage compartment

    Never mind. Just used a hammer and lightly banged on the zippers till they came lose. Washed everything out and applied some zipper lube on there.

    Zipper stuck on overhead storage compartment

    The zipper is stuck on the overhead storage area on my T-Top. Any suggestions on unsticking it? I'm sure it's just salt corrosion.

    New Grady debut at the end of the month. Big, little, or in-between?

    Better seating, more shade, family friendly. Fishing isn't the only reason to own a boat. I find that CCs separate people. You are either in the front or the back completely separated from each other. Different strokes.

    Sandbar Anchor - Suggestions

    I use a black Cooper anchor on the stern with about 8' of chain. Works perfectly in sandy bottoms.

    Man, a Grady cat would be awesome!

    How do I turn off tracks on my Garmin?

    How do I turn off my tracks on my Garmin map without deleting existing tracks? Don't want to get rid of the ones already on the map, just don't want to make new ones.

    New steering wheel

    Me too, but my buddy has a new Grady and the rubber inserts are very nice. Not $600 nice, but I'd pay $200 for it.

    Freedom 235 vs 255?

    I haven't been on a 255, but a buddy of mine who just bought a 235 said he tried them all and he couldn't tell the difference between the 235 and 255 other than the twin engine. He said cabin space was virtually identical.

    Freedom 235 vs 255?

    That is true, but in this case the 235 has the swim platforms and the 255 does not. The 25'7" overall length of the 235 is actually almost a foot longer than the 255. To the OP, I'd get the 235 just for the swim platforms, especially if this is going to be a family cruising boat. Inside...
