@@russjamison9041 That might be the point..... It's a feature, not a bug though I believe there are tax implications for not having a head and being able to claim as a residence......
Sharrow props and a foiling system similar to that on the Insetta 35ifc or the Aquila 36. Might add 4 or 5 knots to both cruise and top end, along with being slightly less thirsty.
Another big-time cat running on flat waters. Running this boat at 70 on flat water is like running a 1 tone diesel down the race track. Let's see some big water running!
If you REALLY gotta go offshore fishing, no matter the conditions, the Freeman is THE choice. If you fish only day runs, the Freeman is THE choice. If you want to go to the Bahamas or keys for a few days you'll need a hotel room. 47 feet of boat and no berth. Hmmmm. We all get it but sometimes i want to sleep ON MY boat. Just stating the obvious. .
@@michiganengineer8621 I didn't know that boat even existed. Definitely a better boat IMO, but it's for a different market. The people who like Freeman boats are the type of people who want a boat that is 100% designed for fishing with no sacrifices made for creature comforts.
Viking 52 for a sleep aboard. Full galley, fridge, showers, head. Large, comfy stateroom. Room to take 2 or 3 friends. And if the weather turns snotty, just lounge in the cabin. I'm too damned old to be playing "Old man and the Sea" and too poor to afford a top line cabin cruiser fishing machine.
@@hagenabe7314 Ridiculously crazy. Falcon Boats builds a 22' catamaran and they're listing it for $145K on their website. $145K for a TWENTY-TWO FOOT BOAT !!!!
gorgeous boat if it was tender to my 60 viking -2 million and i have to shit in a bucket and take a nap in bean bag. has anyone put. toilet in one of those giant deck boxes
Красивая лодка, 120 км в час, для лодки ... нет слов, сколько пройти может без заправки на максимальной скорости? A beautiful boat, 120 km per hour, for a boat ... there are no words, how long can it go without refueling at maximum speed?
Quad 400hp v10 motors consume 500 l/h at WOT and the Freeman 47 has a 3750l fuel tank so 7.5 hours at WOT and you would have traveled 900km. Looking at those numbers, that seems like an absurdly long time that the boat can run at WOT before running out of fuel.
Nobody uses a Freeman on a lake. Mercury is pretty serious about new product leaks, so if you are lucky enough to see it first, it will be on their private lake, regardless of the boat.

Gorgeous Freeman. Looking forward to seeing more of these V-10's...especially putting these on my 34 Costa.
Should make for a great set up!
🤔
That might be a bit much for that Costa, the 500r would be the better choice I think
No toilet, seriously?... imagine spending the cash for a boat like this and having to shit in a bucket miles offshore.
Terrible feature. No one goes out on a one hour fishing trip . Eight people and woman and no place to wee or poop.🤮
Same here. What about your girl when she has to go?

That is my biggest gripe with these big Freeman cats. Out fishing all day and you have to piss over the side?
DAY-YUM!! One outboard motor and all its electronics and hardware is enough of a headache. I can't imagine maintaining/repairing FOUR of everything.
And to think some boats have SIX of those things hanging on the back. Talk about a nightmare !!
i can't wait for the Racing version of this.
I wonder what sharrow propellers could do with this setup. Maybe 1.1mpg at about 3 knots more cruise speed?
Sharrow props and a foiling system similar to that on the Insetta 35ifc or the Aquila 36. Might add 4 or 5 knots to both cruise and top end, along with being slightly less thirsty.
Why would all motors not come with these propellers standard if the benefits are so great? Is it the cost or something?
@@angusloughor-clarke386 I think it’s the patent to be honest.

Then make a video genius. Or should I say nobody hack.
This bad boy needs quad 600s
A da that's what they are showing
There should be an inboard diesel option for this beast
They really should start making diesel engines
A boat that big running on petrol it's just still
Just eats the fuel
2:52 listen to those engines SING
Awesome boat, but for me at 47' i want inboards and a fighting chair.

Kraken 52, once production gets rolling anyway

@@TheVonMatrices According to Howe (Howe2Live channel) hull #1 is nearly complete. I can hardly wait to see it in "the flesh" as it were!

@Ms. Ann Thrope Yeah totally better setup. But millions more. If money is no problem then definitely the Viking.
I see that porpoising at anything over 69
I'll have to take your word on the motors, but the boat? That looks like a very serious fishing gig.
I am from the Bahamas and I love the hat 🇧🇸
My favorite boat just got better!
4 lambo engines on the rear. 4 times thirsty.
Frankly fished one but after a few hours I was looking for a toilet … oh no … there was none ..
$2M boat and no bathroom, there are better options in that price category
Couldn’t agree more
It's all about fishing. Use a bucket and be quick and quiet. L O L
I paid $147K for my house (in the Tampa area) 19 years ago. I have 1,800 sq ft, 4 bedrooms ----- and TWO bathrooms !!
@csrboltfan Shit, nowadays you can't even buy a good 27ft center console for that much. The market has gone crazy.

Is there a large "X" on the roof for a helicopter? What a gorgeous boat. Thanks
Awesome boat
Impressive, but can the freeman be fitted with a hydrofoil for even better fuel economy?
Fast enough!
Looks like lake X in Florida.
It is.
40 mph in a boat is fast. Higher speeds on the water are very dangerous. You just cannot see debris in the water.
Mercury gets you there fast. Yamaha and Suzuki get you home. No way I’d ever go offshore, out of sight of land, with Mercury’s behind me.
For all the guys who need a head (and sit to urinate) it is an available option. This unit is the fish killing model...😂
Put them on a midnight express because I buy my sea food lol
32 wellcraft😊
47 is cool but let’s see them on a 42-43 freeman
Now put Sharrow props on all 4 and retest and see how fast.
Motors look sweet but it seems Freeman is over priced?
WAAAAAY overpriced. If people would STOP buying them, the prices will come down.
What kind of sunglasses is the captain wearing?
sunclouds, specifically Scout Boats branded sunglasses haha
i always ask myself.... they make about 10 of these boats a day....who keeps buying them?????
Elitist
Miami drug runners and other idiots with too much money and not enough sense
It’s V 12 600s that it needs
40 spark plugs 😢
Pretty basic fishing boat for almost $2 Million dollars 💸. I could happily spend %10 of that on a used sport fish and be able to afford the fuel.
500 litres an hour at $1.50 per litre..... oh my.....
I agree. The industry is getting more ridiculous every year. Getting to the point I can barely afford a decent bay boat --- THAT I ALREADY OWN !!!
You should do that.... but don't complain when one of these comes ripping by you in 4 foot seas
Show the gph wide open

I guess you're strapped a porta crapper to the roof
At this point why not just do V12s at 600hp a piece
Remember, they're only testing these OB's since they're brand new.
they should just put a v40 on it and be done
Not very many seats for a mill six😮
Who cares about doing 74 in the bay, in the ocean your not doing that. And only two seats facing forward??? Really
Great video. Many thanks. USA 🇺🇸 Jeff Baran 🇺🇸 FOREVER
25k lb lake pig... Love the motors though!
47', $1.5M, and no head. LMAO. And where's the anchor?
An anchor is "extra". Oh, and you have to store it yourself. No windlass. Terrible customer care.
Your throwing money into a bottomless pit!!.
On a lake..... Show the real performance on coastal waters, offshore, etc. Real world use. Waste of time and money for lake use!
Do the test with yours
Nobody uses a Freeman on a lake. Mercury is pretty serious about new product leaks, so if you are lucky enough to see it first, it will be on their private lake, regardless of the boat.
pretty sure this was filmed in 2022 at mercurys test lake
Because F planet earth... Thats why.
Who cares both the boat and engines are garbage
you couldn't even afford the gas never mind the engines or the boat. go play fortnite child.
The Cat is a beast, impressive and fast, does it have a Seakeeper.
