Remarks

Developed from the very popular Freeman 22, the Freeman 23 is a foot longer, thereby providing a slightly larger cockpit and heads compartment. She also has a slightly squarer shape than her smaller sister, with no step in her deck. This example has her original gelcoat finish and her hull gleams! For sale due to the purchase of another boat and a quick sale is desired.
