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!!! :)

PSI’s for 1100hp, they are barely breathing

...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

Great job, what a wonderful boat! Hope you enjoy many more years of making memories

...and she's in the classifieds again. Too Bad

I would think a boat like that will need a special buyer so putting it up for sale is just a way of marketing the boat as the owner still uses it. Like Apaches, the older boats no matter how updated they are become tough to finance/insure so the market is small for them. It came out beautiful but it certainly would look odd to see that boat without 5-6 hot women on it and just a couple dudes out running a poker run. :D

Maybe I'm wrong as I don't study prices very often, but that seems like a pretty good deal for a world famous 46' Skater that's been completely re-done with top of the line parts throughout.

I'm not wrong that it's still in the top 3 of my favorite Skaters ever and would be a dream boat for me!

Agreed!

Why spend all that time, energy, and Money just to sell it less than a month after completion.

lol seems very suspect in my mind as well... dont understand it at all.

You never know... Win could be looking at the boat like Ron and his Skaters - as in that fact that they are for sale. If they don't find a new owner, they get run and enjoyed.

If someone is willing to pay the $$$, I am sure Win/family will come up with another beauty to put on the lift (he has a helluva track record so far)

Chris and I put tons of time and money into the rebuild exactly the way we would want it if it was ours. Whoever buys the boat will get FAR more then they paid for.

Somebody buy it before I do!!!

Maybe you could trade him Low Altitude. :hitfan:

Blueabyss 05-28-2018 10:39 AM
