Re: What is freeboard?
I'm just bringing this up, because if you're stuck out in 3-4fts, I dont think the diff between a formula and cig will make a difference.
And the boats w/ built in swim platform may make the freeboard 'seem' even lower than they are.

On that trip, which was a late afternoon trip back from Paddy McGees, there was a Sonic who was along for the ride. Everyone on that boat was dry and safe, the other boat was not. The next year the owner sold the boat and got a Sonic.

Panther, sounds like a good decision made there.
But that may have more to do w/ hull design than freeboard.
Some boats are just wet.

And they were not figured into the length of the boat either.
And either were pulpits.

Re: What is freeboard?
I just went to the cig site.
It says the freeboard for a 39TG unlimited is 41".
There aint no way the rubrail at the transom is 3.5ft above waterline.
