Broker's Comments

I am pleased to be able to offer this forever classic Freeman 27 river cruiser, presented in very good original condition.
This boat benefits from a new BSS certificate issued in September 2020. She is very original throught and her wood work is in exceptionally nice condition. She is powered by an ecconomical single diesel so is very cost effective to run. She has all the classic accomodation of a Freeman and can sleep 4 in Freeman comfort! These 27 foot models are very sought after as they are a scaled up version of the smaller Freemans, just with more space and room to relax. The boat is a 1980 version and is in good overall condition. A minor split in the rear bench seat could do with being repaired, however other than that she is very presentable.
If you are looking for a classically styled, spacious river boat from a well respected manufacturer, and with oodles of style and a good following then this is the boat for you. Early viewing is recommended as these boats sell very quickly.

***please note noise in the video is from dredging operations behind the boat***

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
