This popular cockpit model equipped with upgraded twin Cat C30s, 1550 HP, engines, will cruise comfortably at 22 kts. She has all the bells and whistles including Naiad stabilizers, twin 20 KW Northern Lights generators, hydraulic davit, thruster, and windlass, and a factory hardtop on the flybridge. The layout is the preferred 3 stateroom, which includes an office space, as well as separate crew quarters. With her black Awlgripped hull, Freedom turns heads in every harbor. She is a 10, and being sold only to make way for a lager boat.

Accommodations

The carpeted stairway to the staterooms is in the helm area, conveniently located near the starboard Freeman door to the side decks. The foot of the stairs opens onto the main companionway, and directly in front of the stairs is the office, with its pocket doors securely opened to reveal the desk, settee (which converts to a double), end table and en-suite head. Going forward along the companionway, there is a day head and shower, and the door leading to a large bright guest stateroom with a queen berth and direct access to the head and shower. Heading aft from the foot of the stairs, one finds a closet with separate washer and dryer units, and the door to the full beam master stateroom. The master has a king size berth, end tables and lamps on each side, full chests of drawers to port and starboard, a vanity and stool to port, and a large, cedar lined walk-in closet to starboard. The ample master head is to port and aft, and features a large shower. There are oversized opening ports in each cabin for light and ventilation. While the helm deck and galley have a teak and holly sole, the staterooms and companionway are carpeted. There is chilled-water air conditioning with individual controls throughout.

The crews quarters area is between the master and engineroom, and is accessed via a door on the port side deck or through the engine room door in the aft cockpit. There are over and under berths, a head and shower, and a Sub Zero unit.

On the main level, the salon can be entered from the covered aft deck via Freeman electrically operated double doors. Aft to port is an entertainment cabinet with a pop up television, and forward of the cabinet is a curved sofa with book shelves on the forward teak bulkhead and a teak cocktail table. Opposite are two barrel chairs with an end table between. There are windows throughout with Hunter Douglas window shades. All teak trim has high gloss varnish which adds to the bright interior.

Up three steps from the salon is the open galley to port with overhead cabinets running the length of the forward and aft lower cabinets. The forward cabinet is on an actuator that will raise it to enhance the already exceptional visibility from the lower helm. Opposite the galley is a cabinet housing additional frig and freezer Sub Zero drawers, and the interior stairway to the flybridge. Forward of the galley is the helm, and outboard to port is the dinette. To starboard is the stairway to the staterooms below, and the door to the side decks. The galley, lower helm, and all heads have a teak and holly sole.

Galley The up and open U-shaped galley on the pilothouse level has tremendous visibility and easy access to the salon, the lower helm, dinette, and to the flybridge. The storage space, cabinets and name brand appliances will not disappoint the chef.

Aft cockpit, deck and flybridge

The aft cockpit is perfect for cooking and playing outside. To starboard is the oversized covered BBQ and to port is another cabinet with a sink, and between the two is the main door to the engine room. There is a transom door to the wide swim platform, and to port and starboard are stairs up to the aft deck. The roomy aft deck has two built-in settees and a varnished teak table with a maple inlay, and 4 hi-gloss Lewis Drake chairs (and two lounge chairs for the foredeck), and the site of most evening meals. There is also a ladder from the aft deck to the flybridge. An outlet for the remote controls is in the port aft deck settee for ease of maneuvering in tight spaces. On the flybridge are two Stidd seats, port and starboard settees and teak tables, a cabinet with a sink, frig, and icemaker for easy storage of beverages, and the dinghy davit and 430DL Novurania with a 60 HP Yamaha 4 stroke outboard. The dinghy chocks have been custom made for easy removal once the dinghy has been launched, so that the area can be cleared for more entertainment space...dancing?! Bose speakers have been added to the aft deck, foredeck and flybridge.
