Freedom Cruise

 

Power Play
Powered by a 140hp Johnson fourstroke and swinging a 19? pitch prop, we didn?t expect the Freedom 6.2m Cruise to perform like a ski racer and it didn?t. Nonetheless, for people who have no ambitions of ski racing, we found the combination quite pleasant.

In the confines of the Noosa River estuary, the combination was nimble enough and while the EFI DOHC four-cylinder outboard didn?t shove you in the back in your seat when the taps were turned on, it was no slouch with a top speed of almost 35 knots (34.9). This boat is ?Cruise? by name and cruise by nature. And she does it effortlessly between 4000rpm (19.3 knots) and 5000rpm (27.3 knots), which translates into extremely economical flat-water family cruising.
