2013 Northwest Boats 196 Freedom

This 2013 Northwest Boats 196 Freedom is a 19-foot aluminum sportfish designed for Pacific Northwest fishing. The boat sits on an 8-foot beam with a 72-inch bottom width and features an 18-degree transom deadrise that transitions to 24–28 degrees forward, providing a solid platform in varying sea conditions. Dry weight runs approximately 2,400 pounds, and the fuel tank holds 65 gallons.

Power comes from two Honda engines: a 150-horsepower main and a 9.9-horsepower electric-start auxiliary for trolling. The boat is equipped with a tow arch, Bimini cover, and full canvas storage. Onboard electronics include a Lowrance HDS7 Gen 2 depth finder and GPS unit paired with a Kenwood Bluetooth stereo radio. Navigation and operational support is rounded out with an onboard washdown system, fenders, and dock bumpers.

Fishing-specific gear includes two Scotty electric downriggers, downrigger balls, and an electric Scotty pot puller for crab work. The boat runs dual batteries with a selector switch for flexible power management. An EZ Loader dual-axle bunk trailer is included. The engines have seen annual service, with the bottom painted recently.
