Freeman 28 for Sale
Few center consoles in this size range generate the kind of loyalty the Freeman 28 does — and this Freeman 28 for sale shows exactly why. Powered by twin Yamaha F200 four-strokes with 380 hours, both engines have been maintained on schedule with records to support it, and the hull presents in excellent condition with no damage history. The Freeman 28 is hand-built in North Carolina on a catamaran hull that delivers a famously smooth, stable offshore ride — significantly drier and more comfortable in a chop than any comparable monohull center console. This example is rigged with a full Garmin electronics suite, livewell, in-floor fish boxes, and a Pompanette leaning post — ready to fish without a single addition. Located in Morehead City, NC — serious inquiries only, sea trial available.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Freeman 28 is a catamaran-hull center console, which is the core of its appeal. The twin-hull design delivers a dramatically smoother and drier offshore ride compared to monohull center consoles of similar length, especially in beam seas and chop.
Freeman Boatworks boats are hand-built in Oriental, North Carolina. Each hull is individually constructed, and the brand maintains a strong reputation for build quality and attention to detail in the custom center console market.
The Freeman 28 is typically powered by twin outboards in the 150–250hp range per side. Twin Yamaha F200s are the most common configuration, offering a strong balance of performance, fuel efficiency, and reliability for offshore fishing.
The catamaran hull on the Freeman 28 rides on top of the water rather than through it, reducing pounding and spray significantly in rough conditions. Most owners report a noticeably more comfortable and controlled experience compared to monohull alternatives at the same speed.
The Freeman 28 carries approximately 200 gallons of fuel, providing solid offshore range with the twin-outboard setup — typically enough for extended fishing days well offshore and back without needing to push the throttles.
