    Negotiating new 2023 Freedom 235-need help

    You can get a LOT of boat for $1M. Would never spend that much on a bowrider.

    Negotiating new 2023 Freedom 235-need help

    I love Grady, but $1M for a 37 foot boat seems absolutely absurd.

    Sharrow Props

    I think the main issue with the Sharrow is the price. It's so far out of line with what even expensive regular props cost that it's just not going to be a viable option for the average consumer. I believe it is superior to a basic prop, but is it necessary? Ever seen Navy submarines in...

    Sharrow Props

    I only mentioned the CAI because it's another "revolutionary" bolt-on product that makes lots of unsubstantiated claims of performance improvements with questionable real-world evidence. The part where nobody on the boat forums has actually seen one in person should give everyone pause...

    Sharrow Props

    Yeah, really seems that their main market would be professional racing or heavy-duty charters....people who really need to maximize performance on a daily basis. Those of us who just like to cruise the sand bars or do a little personal fishing on the weekends really don't need 10% better...

    Sharrow Props

    Seems like the boat version of a cold air intake. Lots of dubious performance promises. Just a LOT more expensive. They have been around for a while and it doesn't seem like they are catching on with boaters. That price point is really hard to stomach. Does anyone here know anyone who has...

    New Yamaha color ?

    That would make me nervous. I'd make sure that is in writing somewhere.

    Engine paint...Grady white vs Yamaha white

    They wanted about $4500 to do it, but I negotiated them throwing it in free as part of the sale.

    Engine paint...Grady white vs Yamaha white

    MarineMax painted mine with the matching Grady white color. I don't think Yamaha offers them stock with that color.

    Cockpit depth measurement?

    What is it and how is it measured?

    Cockpit depth measurement?

    How and where is the cockpit depth measured on Grady? The advertised cockpit depth on the 235 Freedom is 25". On the 255, 275, 285, 307 and 325 it's 27". Where is that measured? Seems odd that there is only 2" difference between the 235 and 325. I know the 285, 307 and 325 have a wider...

    Engine paint...Grady white vs Yamaha white

    I am very glad I went with the Grady cream. That Yamaha white just looks out of place.

    Engine paint...Grady white vs Yamaha white

    Some folks have wondered about painting the engine with the Grady cream white vs just getting the basic white Yamaha. Here's how they look. This really shows the contrast in white colors. Basic Yamaha white. Grady cream white.

    Negotiating new 2023 Freedom 235-need help

    I bought new back in March because at the time all the late model used 235's were all close enough in price to new that I was comfortable paying a little more and have peace of mind that there are no hidden issues. Prices are coming down a bit, so those two used ones posted earlier look like a...

    2022 Freedom 235 electrical issues

    Just curious, is there a plug in adaptor that can be installed? I have a power outlet on my dock and was wondering about just plugging the thing in when not in use, especially in the winter when it sits there for long periods.

    Sent you a PM. Buy once, cry once. Get it over with. Once you get over the initial shock of how much these things are you won't regret it.
