I don't have that information and can't find anything about it on Google, so it's a little bit difficult to compare. There is a performance data sheet for a 251 Coastal Explorer with a single F300 available on the Grady White website, it has a heavier dry weight compared to your boat and...

It's in the performance data sheet that I attached above... 27.4 mph

I haven't personally done it before. I was considering adding the transom mounted Panoptix transducer to my boat at the time I purchased her coming up on almost 5 years ago now. But at the time, the Panoptix was only rated to I believe 200' in depth, and that was in freshwater. In saltwater...

I mean... I'd hope that you'd be getting above 3 mpg, as I just saw a performance data sheet on a 257 Advance with a single F250 on it, and the optimum cruise was @ 4k rpm, burning 9.1 gph of fuel and getting 3.01 mpg. If that boat, which is likely quite a bit underpowered, can do it then I'd...

It's interesting because people keep talking about torque numbers and so forth, yet I don't think any outboard manufacturer actually posts their numbers for ft/lbs of torque. I imagine that the Honda 350 likely has more torque considering that it's a v8 as opposed to the Suzuki considering that...

As mentioned in another thread... it seems very odd that they're discounting the Honda 350 by like $10k+, as it's essentially a brand new design that they've come out with only in the last couple of years. It almost seems like they're going to go with a different design or they aren't selling...

Is it the 2007 on Boat Trader that's located in Michigan? If so, the pictures all seem a bit odd/suspicious to me...

To me, it almost looks as though the scupper, as well as the trim tab were removed and some fiberglass work was done in that area. Then they were reinstalled but looks like some water was in behind them? Is that a dried seam going from the scupper on down? If possible, I'd look at the same part...

Yep... that was the one that I linked above, it's by i2 Systems Lighting.

I admittedly have no idea how the 285 Freedom is wired or what kind of lights they have onboard. I did a quick Google search to see if I could find any pictures of the lights underneath the hardtop when they're lit up but didn't see any. If your boat has the 3 individually colored lights then...

Let's start off with the basics... what year is your boat and do you have a picture as to what you're looking for/at? Based off of previous posts, I'm guessing it's a 2019? I don't see the 2019 being available online but there is a 2015 parts catalogue and I believe I found the correct lights...

Grady White still to this day makes the 215 Freedom, and although it's about a foot shorter and 300 lbs less in terms of dry weight than the 225 Freedom, it'll give you a pretty close idea as to what you're going to be at. Click on the link, go to the Grady White website and you can compare the...

What year and model of boat do you have? It's difficult to tell via pictures alone... but it almost looks as though there was damage done to that area and/or someone did a previous repair to it, replaced the bow eye or something similar? At least to me, it appears as though the gel coat in that...

I agree, if it was just motors or a repower, then the $5k asking price sounds like it would be a very good deal. Looks like the boat has been listed on the current Craigslist ad for the last 25 days, though. Which I imagine there might be a reason for why it's been listed for almost a month and...

Per Google, it looks like the serial number of 6CGX1000413 is a 2010 and newer model...
