How do you take 1800 lbs out of an old boat?

It had a lot of difference refurbs over the years and they striped it down to the Beautiful new build they did and threw 1800 pounds of old stuff out like the down stairs, couch and luggage area as well as a cooler area that was built into the side panel area. Some of the old build used heavy plywood. All I can say is WOW!!!! The Freedom boat it Beautiful!!! I could go on and on for weeks describing how much fun myself and many friends had over the years running the boat around Poker runs!! Such a great machine!!! Congratulation to Win and all involve in bringing Freedom back to life for many more years of fun for anybody lucky enough to take a fun ride on FREEDOM!!!

...there's a reason Freedom is the most photographed boat on OSO.

Sounds like a great make-over to keep her running/ creating adventures for a long time for Win and family
