Freedom 235
So we decided to trade in the 235 for a 2026 285. Feel like the dealership gave us a great deal on my trade in and the purchase. It helps to be personal friends with the manager and all the sales people! The boat should be here within a week (coming from south Florida).

On the older fridges you just turned the circular knob inside the fridge all the way to the warmest setting and you felt the smallest of 'clicks' and that was the 'off' position. I'm not sure about the newer ones. I presume that you could also just turn of the the fridge breaker on your 12 volt panel. I'm not sure where that panel is in your new boat, but it will be obvious. And I'm sure other owners will jump in who will know for sure.
 
Very nice!! Congratulations. Expect to hear a detailed review especially a comparison from the 235 to the 285.

I am looking forward to writing that! Twin 350s is going to be a massive upgrade.
 
Stressed out about that choice over and over again when I bought my 2022 Freedom 235. Finally decided that the single engine was more efficient and would cost less than the twin. Now I have too much time and too many mods to get rid of the 235 but can't wait to see the differences that you find. No matter what, you can't beat a Grady! Best boat I have ever had!!!
