I think you made a good decision with the 37 Freeman. You’re able to keep your prices competitive, and not eliminate some of your clients. I was in South Florida and went out for Sailfish, but after seeing you, and all your footage, I can’t wait to head further south and check out Bud and Mary’s Marina. I really like the 42 Freeman Scott Martin just purchased! #staysafe #tightlines
I agree it’s a lot of high end boat. But at the end of the day it’s a CC. Nothing looks better. But it’s a fishing machine only. Soooo many diesel Hatteras boats for that price point
Much rather have an older Buddy Davis or an old Outer Banks boat. Way less tech with the same, if not more, fish in the box. I have worked at Spectre when they were building CC’s and Intrepid. Always hiding “GREMLINS” From day one.
Someone once told me that when it came to boats like this one, that if you have to ask “How Much?” Its not for you. In Charleston you’ve got a long way to go to get to the stream and this thing would make that trip a breeze.
I have never been a cat fan but if there was one that could change my mind it would be the Freeman. I followed Freeman on the boating forums since the first one was built.
I think only you can determine if that boat is worth it and if you could get $4-$5 k a trip from your client base...The one thing that stood out in my mind was the rod locker storage doors are upside down. Who wants to be on their hands and knees retriving or stowing equipment? They should open down, not up..cool vid, hope to see yinz in a week. Tight lines 😎
I agree on the orientation of the rod locker doors. seems more efficient that they would fall down to reach into. but... Ive never designed a boat, so who am I to talk.
Nice boat. They used to make Freemans right by my parent's neighborhood on James Island before they moved to Summerville. I'd love to own one but it's not in the plan. Fun to dream though!
Capt Stan, I used to work that boat show going back to Dinner Key in the Grove, before it moved to the Miami Beach Convention Center, and Behind Miami Hearld. OH boy, the Swag we got from the vendors was Grand 😁
Jake Johnson bro I swear I taught about that but couldn’t believe it so i taught the bucket joke was about something else because i can’t believe a boat that expensive doesn’t have at least a toilet .
Yeah while the big cats offer massive deck space they are lacking the space for a stand up head in the console for obvious reasons. But I bet Freeman will or already has figured it out.
@@kennythai8049 this boat and the 42 still handle better than any contender made so if you want a fishing boat this would be the better option if you want i got a big boat with 4 engines the contender is the way to go
What is it with fishing? Does every Floridian want to be Ernest Hemingway. Here in the UK fisherman (sorry chaps you know it’s true) tend to be a scruffy bunch on scabby diesels loaded with kit to sit off a wreck in howling wind and rain. In Florida the first thing I see you doing is putting on sunscreen, we’re not troubled by that in February. Give me a nice 32’ Centre Cockpit and I’d use it to visit every pub and restaurant in The Solent. That should take me a few years to complete. Great boat you have there and she is supremely flat at speed. Love to see you boys do a practice Man Over Board at 50 knots and see how long it takes to recover them.... EDITED: And perhaps to finish, what is it with fisherman? No life jackets - do you become invincible as soon as you pick up that rod.... very naughty!
Great boat!!!! I just ordered a new HCB42 Lujo with 3 Merc 600's! Very psyched---will bring it to the Keys in March 2024 for some fishing---- Now that you have had some time on the boat--what do you think of it??
Love the 42's! This will be my 3rd 42 HydraSport. Our main boat is a 71 Princess, and our fishing boat is the 42!! Works out awesome to have both!!! Tight Lines!@@StanzFam
In my opinion, You should Purchase it. It’s just my opinion, I’m more of a speed guy. But it’s your decision. I own a Invincible with Quad Merc 400’s. I purchased it as I’m just more of a guy that enjoys going fast.
Yes Nick buy the 47 and give me your 37 😂. A Freeman is my absolute dream boat, but in my dreams is as far as it will ever get with the price tag on those things. Great video.
Because it’s a fishing boat they use every inch of space for storage and they know if your a real fishermen you don’t need a cabin. I would definitely take this boat. Freeman’s are most likely one of the best rideing boats out there
Storage is beautiful anywhere in life especially on Boat but on every Freeman I've seen it's Overkill How many coffin boxes Below deck do you need ??? Any person with a slight bit of salt sprinkle Would like a place to take a nap for at least four fishermen and a place to take a crap especially for the ladies Nevermind it's an option Who the hell knows what that option costs Absolute beautiful fishing machine and you are living the dream Anyone that owns anything like it But if you get back to practicality Answer that one question Sleep pee poop on a boat that size Would you or would you not for that money ? Come on man Come on man
I'm surprised Freeman doesnt do much in terms of cuddy space (especially with the size of each hull, lol). Having a 47 like that would be great to have a little berth or two for overnighting. I dont expect the extent like they did with the collaboration with Merrit for JB's new ride but a lil overnighting space would be nice
They definitely focus on the fishing aspect now but I wouldn’t be surprised to see some more custom work done to them, especially with this new bigger platform. I’d love to see a few more with custom cabins and custom layouts
Everybody needs a 1,800 HP fishing boat...! Hell dude, My '94 Tracker Pro Deep V 16 has a JBL Stereo in it... (but only 2 of those JBL 6" Marine Speakers...!) Damn I'd like 2 more...!
@@zacpearson1878 He isn't...he is an awesome guide and i went on his site and charters are around 2-3k. I am definitely doing one with him in 1-2 years. But 4-5k, that does seem a bit steep
The 47 is probably just a little to much to maneuver ontop of swords or when they are charging the boat? Im sure it rides nice in the rough stuff but who wants to be out in weather that keeps a 37 at the dock? Loved the vid Capt!
The only thing I can afford on a 47 Freeman is that can of Dr.Pepper!!😂😂😂
that means you're not a thief.
#facts 😭
or the boat brush
@@Mr.Potato420 I was thinking the bait net. but the brush should get you invited. not me
I will buy all the dr pepper you want if I can get a invite for a fishing trip on that thing!
I look at all your videos and that's a great idea big is better. Blessing to you and your family.
Absolute work of art!!!
Agreed!
I really like that 47 foot Freeman, but I just measured my garage and it's only 45 foot long. A beautiful boat!
Get the 42 and extend a little
Thats alot of freaking Freeman!! Bad ass boat!!
They do make a great boat! Itll be interesting to see how long the waiting list gets for this one.
Nick you don’t need all that, your blessed with what you have already. Save your money! Vince from NJ.
Shut up
Fellow dude from nj imagine flexing in all the 30 foters in the marina and doing offshore marlin trips in that
Keep the boat you got..hell, thats a dream boat to me what you got and it looks better to me. Whatever makes you happy bro.
I don’t think you should. Ur boat is just as good with the price it’s at. Great vid!!

Sweet!!! Looks like a fish catching boat to me especially with a Capt like yourself. Yes, Capt Nick I can that boat at Bud n' Mary's in your slip.

Pretty awesome boat. The lighting was cool too.
Agreed 👊🏻👊🏻
I would give this a TEN !

I like that double bench seat
Yes u should really get one Nick!!!!
Yes you need this Boat !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would you buy wehicle with no reverse? Not having a toilet on the boat to me feels the same. Other that that badass boat.
Wow beautiful boat

Just curious why do you need to go so fast like if you just had less horse power wouldn’t you get way better mpg
Awesome Captain! Who knows, you just may end up with one🤙🏽🤩
Maybe I missed it but did not see the head compartment .
A head is an option , about 1/2 the people that get Freeman’s get them, half don’t. I had one on my first 37 but I didn’t get one on my next boat.
Capt Stan, I used to work that boat show going back to Dinner Key in the Grove, before it moved to the Miami Beach Convention Center, and Behind Miami Hearld. OH boy, the Swag we got from the vendors was Grand 😁
This is the best fishing boat I had ever seen! My only worries are fuel consumption!
Amazing boat
Nahhh.... wait until next year when the 62 ft freeman comes out for 4.2 million!....💪🏼
Captain BP&J hardcore fisherman need the 62 foot boat but guys don’t need bathrooms😂😂
Yeah you should get one that boat is amazing
78mph? That is burning some dinosaurs!
That is a amazing boat you should really buy it 💚👊💙🐠🐠🐠🐠
With all that space why put the live well in the floor?
man i wish we had this in southern california but our shows are really small but nice
Could you please do a video on cost of operating your boat
Phenominal fishing machine. Only downside is you still need to use a bucket.
Yea man ! That's the only bad thing about cat ! I don't like that at all ! Not for that kind of money !
To me the contender 44st is the one !
Jake Johnson please help me understand lol i didn’t het it .

Y'all some strange fuckers across the pond, I love it lol
You've bought TWO and they don't invite you along for a trip?!
Does it come with it's own refinery?
Nice socks....
Great video.. info+! 👍
You and Robert need to do hot ones with Sean Evans. Bring Sean down and rock his world!
Get it Nick! Perfect time to sell the 37, with brand new engines on the back.
Some boat Gr8 style great make
Between simrad and garmin Wich gps you like more
I’ve been super happy with the Garmin GPS the past year when I switched.
Good lord 😍😍its orgasmic🎣🎣🐟🐟🏴☠️...cant get much better

Congrats on the new boat! I don’t have the 47 personally, I have a 42. But the 47 is a beast
Love the 42's! This will be my 3rd 42 HydraSport. Our main boat is a 71 Princess, and our fishing boat is the 42!! Works out awesome to have both!!! Tight Lines!@@StanzFam
He'll yes! You deserve it. You put a ton of hours to gain your knowledge. Be comfortable on your trips!💪🤘 You need the side door too.
I love to buy one how much are they going for 47t can you let me know thank you cheers mate
I think $1.3-1.4 mil now
Amazing
Well heck yeah on the 47' Freeman! YOLO Dude.
So will we possibly see the first freeman with quad 7 marines
Doubtful, they haven’t been hanging those motors last couple years, you never know though
Just had to watch again!! Name of boat Freaky fast freeman or freak of nature
Yes please do
Bluegabe was there to

No crapper?
Freeman Boats..for those that want to spend a million dollars on a boat, and not have a cabin..or even a head..
They have an option for a head most people don't get one though.
The new 46 Invincible has one. I was surprised to see it. Now, I change my mind about the Cats.
Because it’s a fishing boat they use every inch of space for storage and they know if your a real fishermen you don’t need a cabin. I would definitely take this boat. Freeman’s are most likely one of the best rideing boats out there
JJ exactly where's the place to take a nap and a s***

The decks look nice.How do you like it Capt?Thanks for posting.
Where did u get those socks? Nice boat.
What about the Freeman cat makes you buy it over other offshore cats?
Performance , and they have held their value since they are in high demand
how much for that's thing Nick
Starts around $1.2 million
So what happens when you want to take a number 2?
Use a bucket
@@StanzFam I can just picture the reaction from most females when you tell them that.

@@StanzFam I'd be willing to bet we'll start to see more after Buffett's collaboration with Merrit.
How come I don’t see bathroom in all the sizes?!
Without generator and AC bathrooms would be stink holes.
Of course get the 47 Freeman!
Ya get that boat it’s pretty sick
No cabin or head?
Want to trade with my 14-foot aluminum boat? it has a 9.9 !!
Yes get one
So cool
Everybody needs a 1,800 HP fishing boat...! Hell dude, My '94 Tracker Pro Deep V 16 has a JBL Stereo in it... (but only 2 of those JBL 6" Marine Speakers...!) Damn I'd like 2 more...!
how much fuel was onboard?
I don’t remember
How much does it cost?
Yes!! Get one
I’m hearing George Thorogood “bad to the bone“🇺🇸⚓️
Hi Nick. What is your opinion of the mercury racing motors? Are they a work horse like Yamaha engines?
That's the tender I want. I'm gonna need a bigger yacht.
Where is the head?
Our record on our freeman, the smile maker a 37 was 80!
That is fast!
Awesome machine rite thare sir ...
its gotta have a head right?
The only thing l can say is WOW WOW WOW fantastic.
Awesome you should be doing drone footage while going fast on the boat
How do I win one
I would love to be fishing on one
Nice bro
I don’t want to pay that much for a charter too!😂😂
MarxTV he has to be kidding 😂
@@zacpearson1878 He isn't...he is an awesome guide and i went on his site and charters are around 2-3k. I am definitely doing one with him in 1-2 years. But 4-5k, that does seem a bit steep
Dr Dwg with gas and mates idk but still yeah. It would Definatly be a trip of a lifetime. Like the ones out of Venice la
Yes gat a 47
Nick you need to keep the boat you have. Imma bring a flat bottom aluminum boat down there from Arkansas. go get some fresh water brims and fry em up.
Seakeeper??
No
Where's the staterooms, generators, AC ? Moved up from a Cigarette to a 46 spt. fish. as it was just not practable, and this one not much better.
How wet do you get in a rainstorm with a side to sea when running?
Get the 47 no doubt that boat is amazing
I would buy it but my garage is only 45 feet long looks like I have to get the 42 then
My dream boat🤤🤤🤤🤤
Did Scott let you drive is the real question?
Nope, they probably figured I’d go fishing 😎👊🏻
The 47 is probably just a little to much to maneuver ontop of swords or when they are charging the boat? Im sure it rides nice in the rough stuff but who wants to be out in weather that keeps a 37 at the dock? Loved the vid Capt!

77mph is an insanely fast boat with 12 adults on it
