While i pulling in my boat on sat, a guy was putting his in. It was a freedom half cab, about 5.5m. It looked real nice. I asked him what he thought. He liked it. It had a 90hp 4stroke susie on the back. He said it cruiced at 40 mph. I was just wondering if anyone knew of this brand and their thoughts about boat and motor.

Cheers

40 miles per hour sounds abit high ? That 90 Suzuki would be minimum size for that boat.

the finish is not as nice as a haines sig but still nice enough that the girls like, it a dry boat and fairly good all rounder 115hp is the max 90 being the recommended

with 5 biggish adults on board on saturday top speed was 55kph on the gps though it strugled to get on the plane with three adults (250kg) sitting on the back seat i just got them to move forward a tad and all was good, once on the plain there were no probs

i don't see a need to go to the max 115 unles you plan to take heavy loads all the time
