2025 Freeman 43

The 2025 Freeman 43 is a center console built for serious offshore fishing and performance. Powered by four Mercury V10 400 hp engines producing 1,600 horsepower total, this boat reaches 72 mph and cruises at 45 knots. The hull is fiberglass in Ethereal Blue with white rub rail and gray insert. With just 125 hours, the engines have been broken in and received Mercury's 100-hour certified service in January 2026. The boat comes with a five-year Mercury warranty, with seven years available.

The deck layout centers around fishing capability and comfort. Nine Release Marine teak seats arranged in three rows provide seating forward and facing aft for anglers. A full tuna tower with custom-piping design and powder-coated white rod holders dominates the upper structure. Five livewells with two updated seachests supporting four outlets each, over 70 rod holders throughout the boat, and multiple tackle stations port and starboard support serious fishing operations. A Pompanette Mini Manta console holds eight rod holders and a tackle drawer.

Navigation and connectivity are comprehensive. The system includes two Garmin 24-inch multi-function displays, a rear-facing Garmin GPSMAP 743, Garmin GPSMAP xHD3 radar with a four-foot open array, Garmin GT-31 side scan sonar, and dual transducers. Mercury joystick with Skyhook electric steering and integrated autopilot handle boat control. Starlink satellite internet is integrated into the buggy top. A 50-inch Rigid light bar, FLIR thermal imaging, and dual iCOM VHF radios complete the electronics suite. The Zipwake trim tab system aids handling.

The boat features a deluxe XL hardtop with integrated Starlink, custom soft goods in white with mist diamond stitching, an electric marine head, and a monster coffin box with teak accents. An extensive sound system includes 26 JL Audio speakers and seven amplifiers. Custom lighting throughout totals over 36 multi-color lights. Storage is extensive, with ultra-insulated compartments and six under-gunnel electrical outlets. A glass windshield with wiper and side dive door that opens both directions complete the setup.
