For sale: 2003 McKee Freedom 28 Reduced $55,000 FIRM

Posted in Boats For Sale on July 24th, 2008

The time has come!! Boat's equipped with twin 250 Evinrude DI's made by Bombardier. Warranty is transferable through First Protection, and expires 10-9-2008. The port motor has around 332:55 hours on it, and the starboard should have around 329:46 on it. Don't really keep up with MPG, but at 37 MPH I'm burning 22 GPH per the flow meters. Boat tops out at around 51-54 mph depending on load. Trailer is an aluminum 2008 Loadmaster triple axle, model # 2628-TX, GVWR is 10,000 lbs. I had loadmaster install Kodiak disc brakes on all three axles, and just added an electric over hydraulic breaking system (Brake Rite). I'll never go back to surge after making this change.

I sent the boat back to McKee Craft for numerous upgrades, and had half of it rewired 7 months ago. They installed a new gauge package, fuel flow meters, toggle switches, Rule 1500 GPH bilge pump with float switch, macerator pump, VFR battery switches, leaning post back rest with 5 rod holders, stainless steel rub rail, and a new console door. The improvements were made to keep it looking in new condition and cost me $5,000.

Electronics: Garmin 2010C, black box, standard VHF, Poly Planer MRD-60, and a Poly Planer ME-400 amp, with 4 Poly Planer speakers. I also added a Minn Kota 4 bank battery charger.

The boat has not been tournament fished, and is immaculate!! I'm also including 2 Penn 625 fathom downriggers, and a pain wessex epirb.

The reason for selling, downsizing. $55,000 Firm. Please call or e-mail me at HHIproperty@aol.com or 843-683-4242
