Grady-White Freedom 285 for Sale

The Freedom 285 marks a significant step up in the dual console series, adding a wider 9-foot, 6-inch beam, a deeper 22-inch draft, and a 700 HP maximum rating that supports twin-engine configurations suited for serious offshore fishing from Southwest Florida's Gulf Coast. At 28 feet, 5 inches with a 19-degree deadrise SeaV2 hull, the 285 handles offshore seas with the authority of a much larger boat. A 214-gallon fuel tank provides substantial range, and the 20-gallon freshwater supply keeps the crew comfortable on extended runs to the Tortugas, the Marquesas, or the deep Gulf wrecks. Dry weight is 6,500 pounds — heavier than smaller Freedom models, reflecting the added structure and systems appropriate for true bluewater duty. Capacity is rated for 10 persons. The Freedom 285 is the choice for the dual console buyer who wants a proven offshore platform without giving up the family-friendly practicality of the dual console layout.
