    Replacement lock cylinder

    I tried to find a cylinder last year and was told they don't sell them. However, I had checked with SOUTHCO. Other brands may be different.

    what model year Freedom 285 & other questions

    I just checked GW website. The 205 is only available with F300s, so that's that. :) You would want the RADAR for weather (fog, storm, etc.). NO, do not rely on your phone.

    what model year Freedom 285 & other questions

    Hi, I believe the best motor option for that boat is the twin F300s. Twin F250s would be fine, though. I don't think GW starts painting hulls until >=33'. Any of the lighter colors is fine. Personally, I like the standard off-white/cream color. Either joystick or bow thruster is fine...

    Need to Replace Fold Down Bench Retaining Clips

    Questions: 1) Has anyone used something different for these clips? Seems like these clips, or something similar, might be available at a plumbing or electrical store, for holding hoses or conduit in place. I haven't had to replace, so no comment. 2) Any ideas on what could be used to replace...

    Placards Required?

    Example from google: Oil Discharge: The USCG oil discharge placard that you need to have must be a certain size and placed in the proper location. The placard must be 5 inches by 8 inches in size, and it must be placed in your machinery space in areas where it can be easily seen by everyone. It...

    Freedom 307 hardtop support repair

    ^^ I wonder if some temporary vertical supports (nicely finished wood or Teak perhaps) could be put in place for those times when you have the rod holders loaded up. I mean this sincerely and not as an attack or in any way blaming you for the issue.

    Freedom 307 hardtop support repair

    Nice work. Probably should have gussets from the factory. Would you be kind enough to provide the details of the repair paint? (thx)

    Font Size for Boat Name on 2019 Freedom 235

    I wanted it centered on the console. The space between the rub rail and the "hull line" was tapered towards the stern, so I had to be go little out of scale with regards to the height and width of the lettering. It came out just right. Day Roman Font: black with a light gold outline 6" tall by...

    Time to plane

    Oh sorry. I never really timed it. My guess would be under 10 seconds. I always trim my motors all the way down and my tabs all the way up. I probably hit it harder than I need to, but I like to minimize the bow-rise and get on plane as quickly as possible. This is especially true if there is...
