So, I pull up to gas up at the ol Piggly Wiggly on Folly Rd… and there it was… my dream, my angel, my all time favorite thing in the entire world… a Freeman 37! On its way to Gulf Coast. All I need is $350k!
Nice. Not sure I could afford the gas bill.

Your right about not being able to afford the gas! That thing has a gas hose pumping on both sides! Wonder how many gallons it holds?
Never mind, I looked it up. 540 gallons, Holy Cow, Bat Man[:0]
What’s the range on that beast? South Africa?

And 2K every time you fill the gas tanks. That makes a couple hundred a day for bait, ice and tackle seem insignificant, don’t it:question:

I’m just guessing, that boat is out of my league, but with 900 hp and a 500 gallon tank it can probably run about 10 hours at easy cruise speed. Maybe 1 mpg, range 500 miles. maybe. Just a rough guess.

Come on Cracker, who do you think your fooling? Anyone that can afford 5 pounds of Paul’s, smoked salmon Fedex’ed to them, has money! You can’t hide money like that Cracker:wink:
That is a beauty for sure. I would be thrilled just to go for a ride on a boat like that. Never been on anything bigger than a 25’.

Right 
Heck, I couldn’t even afford the trailer, or the truck you’d need to pull that beast. Even if they offered it to me for free I’d have to decline. Couldn’t afford the capital gains tax, or the insurance, and could only fill the tanks about once a year. Way out of my league, Easy.
I sure am glad that there are people who can afford it though, they keep poor boat builders like me in a job

Recon we could replicate that with enough stitch and glue?

Not in the lifetime that I’ve got left. I could build it, but the fairing and sanding would kill me dead [:0]
Beautiful boat

I can only afford to do that because I don’t have a boat like that
That thing burns more fuel in a day than mine does in a year.

17 rod holders… and I’d guess there won’t be any zebco’s in there!
super nice! When I can afford a Lamborghini, I’ll step up and get one of these for the water! I’d guess top speed would be at least 35…
check out that color…nice
