Hi all! New owner here with a 2023 Freedom 215 in Seaglass to take delivery on May 31. She is named Maggie May and my wife and I are looking forward to the new adventures! Anyone else in the Potomac River area?

I'm at the other end of the country so no fishing buddy for you. That said, you will love this forum. I've been on a bunch, bloody decks, hull truth, my local fishing forum. This one is the best. This place is full of people that want to be friends, want to help you, don't judge.

You will have fun here, welcome!

welcome! I'm pretty new here as well. Lots of great information and experience to help you with your boat. Now, please send some of the rockfish back up the bay to Maryland!

Welcome, and good luck with your new boat. Is it your first boat?
I've been slowly working my way up from a 14ft vhull bass boat, to a deckboat, kayak, and now the big jump! This will be the largest, most expensive, and highest quality boat I will have owned. I plan to have it forever!

Hi,

When I sold my last boat (9 years old), it was a 9 out 10 condition/operationally. I put together a maintenance plan for the new owner, because they were so impressed with the condition of the boat. I follow the same methodology on my current boat. Just this past Sunday, my friend's wife commented: "Your boat is immaculate"....{and I fish the boat a lot}


If you want to private message an email address to me, I can send the document to you and you can pick & choose those items that are applicable to your new boat.
