2023 Freeman 42LR

The 2023 Freeman 42LR is a 42-foot fiberglass catamaran built for serious offshore fishing and extended cruising. Powered by four Mercury engines producing 1,600 horsepower total, with a warranty extending to October 2029, the boat combines the twin-hull design's stability and efficiency with genuine range capability. An 800-gallon fuel capacity supports long-distance operation, while the catamaran hull delivers a smooth, dry ride typical of the design — a meaningful advantage offshore where comfort and reduced pounding matter.

This boat comes equipped with a full custom tower (a $150,000 upgrade), Simrad electronics, and underwater lights. The expansive cockpit layout prioritizes fishing functionality with oversized fish boxes and livewell capacity; an additional 100-gallon above-deck livewell is included. The wide deck accommodates multiple anglers working simultaneously, and the boat carries two spare lower units and two spare props as part of the package.

Built from fiberglass with structural reinforcement, the 42LR handles the demands of saltwater operation. The catamaran hull delivers both performance and efficiency — typical cruise speeds run around 45 knots depending on trim and conditions, yet fuel efficiency remains reasonable for the size and power. Quality steering and control systems provide predictable handling whether running offshore or navigating at idle. A full boat cover is included.
