Revamped By Boat Customs, Freedom Skater To Debut At Boyne Thunder
 

A classic catamaran going modern, https://speedonthewater.com/boat-res...-boyne-thunder.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product in person during the Boyne event.

Sweet! One of my all time favorite cats.

Can't wait to see it, and glad it will live on with an open checkbook. Lots of memories in Freedom and at Big Thunder when they did the first restoration.

Cant wait to see the new looks and please someone get a video of those Sterlings starting up and running.

Always dig that boat. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Good memories of watching my first live Offshore Race where it (Zero Defect) went unbeaten. Cool boat with a lot of history.

Sweet boat, awesome shop, great new owner! Looking forward to running next to them this summer!

Good to see! She was my first over Hundie boat ride!! And the stories it could tell lol

Look forward to see the finished product

Those motors sounded so sweet in Toms 40. This will be one cool piece when they are done.

Fresh off the Dyno at Sterling, Ready to make some real noise!

Wow, great refresh of one of the coolest Skaters ever. Congrats!

what kind of power did they make Tom?

1500hp Each. They are still pretty stout for being an older set. :)

Perfect power choice! This old gal ages like a fine wine.

Not bad at all. cant wait to see it.

Perfect!

Dyno Sheets... Can't wait to burn some 116!

Wow!!!! I couldn't be happier that good ol Freedom is getting a new life!! She's had 4 or 5 great ones already but she has at least 4 or 5 lives left!! Only takes Money! Lol :) Lucky Kick AZZ Cat!!!! I loved Freedom and always will!! Congrats Tom!!!

Guess I should Change my name and pic someday.

I can see you as a "DOUBLE TAKE"

Good idea!! I'll thank about that one and see if I can find another 46 with that name. :)

...May be easier to just get freedom back :drink:

Quick update. Mystic is still working on the boat. After I missed Boyne Thunder this year, I told them to take all the time they need to get it done. It's taken on a life of its own. Aside from 75% of the paint and 90% of the fiberglass, this boat is 100% new. Drives, headers, tails, fuel cells.. every nut, bolt, screw, hose, gauge, etc.. everything is new.

Will be completed March 1st at the latest.

Shes listed in the classifieds. May be willing to look at partial trades for classic muscle cars, 28 skater, etc..

Looking forward to Boyne Thunder and LOTO this coming summer if she doesn't find a new home!

I'll try the keep posting progress pics as things progress.

Did you sell Dr Riley’s old speedboat? I was trying to find a picture to show a customer the other day. I thought I had a picture from the street show, I didn’t find it. I have a few to many pics. LOL

Hey Bob, yup, 2 summers ago. Cool boat, just not very useable.

I understand that, I have a great appreciation for old cars and boats. But have no desire to own anything I ‘m going to stare at and not use. I really enjoy that my son drives my fathers old 31 Speedster around all summer.

Freedom has a new home!

Are you ar liberty to say who/where?
It has to be bittersweet to sell that iconic and beautiful boat.

I'll leave that up to him. I'll just say that we are both happy with the outcome :)

Completely understand. Congrats to both of you. A wicked cool boat for sure!,

Cool!!!!!! Its was a kick azz boat and now with the things you've done its even more of a kick azz boat!!! Congrats to whoever got it!!

Must have been Jason Smith!! His wife made him........
