Hi have you still got ur boat , what engine is this please
@@helendevlin638 yes still got her she got a 105e ford she run well but she tuck up for she winter break looking forward to warm weather
Great video.
Lovely job. Well done 👍
How much would one of theses beauties cost me 🤔
A useable one would be 4 to 10 k now you can find cheaper ones that needed a lot of work all depends how many time and money you want thrown at up each year there less of this model considering there never made 533 there still a few around ,,,,a good one will only go up in price
@andrewcronk546 I've got this idea in my head that I could have a small river boat in semi good condition that can go on the canals too, mainly for leisure and fishing for 5k or 6k but tbh I would mind a little project either its the cost of having it out water
@@DonTiberius35 I sure you could find a nice one for that sort of money mechanically sound they not hard to fix and you can get all the parts still
How do you cope with no shower? Nice boat !
Well I have a portable solar one and stand on the deck 😄
Big jobs! Where did you get the new shaft and what did it cost?
There is a engineer company in king Lynn the copy the original one they done really good job there were called polar system ltd it cost just over £500 pounds not cheap but make one and balance it did include all new fittings all the way through to the gearbox
Thanks for the reply with infos Andrew. It'll have to be done at a later stage, for now it's prop clearing time again, it'll sure be fun. All the best
i have just bought a 20 ft teal 1995 model with out board wots the best make of small cruisers as new to boats
Hi Andrew. I am french so my English is ... Approximative. Anyway, I have a freeman 23 and basically, I have the same issue but not exactly on the same area. It is due to a leakage from the top. Could you tell me more detail about the resin etc.. you used to repair please ?
Hello I glad you like the video .the wood was treated with ronseal rot wood hardener...which done work...and resin is any marine fibreglass.resin .. should all be primed with waterproof undercoat
Very interesting to see everything when stripped away like that. Thank you, very informative video, and well done on rebuild!
Thanks you for you comments hope do a new video soon out and about
Is your boat for sale in Porter Heigham which is of the same name?
No sorry it must just be another with same name
@@andrewcronk546O'h thank you I have today bought a Freeman 22 mk2 from Potter Heigham, it is in incredible condition only had two owners and looked after. I am completely new to boating and will be taking it over on Friday, it will be my pride and joy as I will keep it in the same condition, really liked your video thank you.
@@carrington2158 that's exciting news is a pre flow my sitting just outside the window at home new prop shalf and prop and rebuild gearbox going back in tomorrow hopefully back in the water at weekend there a new video I post last week and there be part 2 of video in couple week... If there anything you want no about your and I can help just drop line on messenger you are not a million miles away
@@andrewcronk546 Thank you Andrew that is very kind of you, I am really looking forward to taking over the boat on Friday, I am glad we were able to find a mooring because there is very little available. The boat only went on the market late on Saturday and there had been six enquiries, when we went to the Broker at 8:30am this morning there was someone after us wanting the boat, I am really pleased it all worked out thank you.
No my still here in the fens ... Must be a boat with the same name funny I have see that boat few years ago here in the fens
interesting- love the washing machine, mop and fridge... Few ideas brewing!
I like the way you do these, and use easily available items!
Great video Andy, not sure I’m going to get my friend to chuck a bowl of water at me 🤣. Thank you for the ideas 👍🏻X
Thank you for sharing. Have me some ideas to try.
better watched late than never! good practical ideas
one of your best videos!
Really liked this video Andy, especially the effect and the setting details :)
Thank you Andy I have noted the settings & will have a go
I love the mk1. I have a mk2. You’ve done a nice job on a nice boat.
I'm thinking of buying a cheap and I mean cheap Freeman 26 and have watched some of your video of painting and such could do with some tips in the future if I decide to purchase it . It has motor and running gear lower half of hull paint is in bad condition is missing 1 side window and canopy is covered in mildew had most interior but drawers and all wood could do with varnish ECT because it's flakey capets need replacing. I think it's a 70s or 80s looking model because it has a more sharp and in parts box shaped look to it . Iv a question as I don't know lots about boats would this be a strictly river boat or could you go out to sea onit if been in the sea on smaller speed boats but only in calm seas so wouldnt know thanks.
Hello if you going you need to ask yourself some questions 1 does the boat run 2 does the gearbox work and if yes is there any vibration if hold the screen there no major vibration then it good bet. 3 does the boat have bss ticket. Is the floor joints good no rot. Which engine and gear is in it.. You can get most engine at local motor factors at half the price... The list goes on.. Where in country are you
@@andrewcronk546 thanks for the response Andrew I'm actually in ireland and this particular boat was sold within 48hrs I got in touch with the seller to arrange a viewing and it was sold it had two 1.8 ford diesel engines both ran apparently and the hull was also sound apparently was mainly cosmetic issues but never got to check it out in person when I have the chance to actually view anything il check for bad vibrations from the engine and gearbox aswel as checking the structure for rot . Thanks Adam
Beautiful work and great inspiration to anyone wanting to live the BoatLife 👍🏼
Would love to see what it looks like now?????
There is a finished video.... Launch party I must do some more. This year I not been well so video have take back seat.. The big c... But I beat it.. So roll on life
Freeman restoration launch party
Good for you mate! I’m about to head over to your channel now to see the finished piece!
That west bend 40 is a nice engine. It should have a Wico battery ignition with Bosch coils. Clean and set the points at 0.20 of an inch, hook up the battery and it should have spark. I have the 1958 Elgin Skipper 35 hp engine which is the same as your engine except yours makes more power. Just be careful because it could be a positive ground system. Follow the positive lead and see if it mounts directly to the block. If it does, then it is positive ground and you should hook up the negative first. If not then hook up positive first. The engine runs twin Chrysler fuel pumps and you can buy rebuild kits for them for pretty cheap. Nice find though.
Those old West Bend motors, most parts you can use from Chrysler outboards. Chrysler bought WestBend in the 60s
Nice work.I'm looking at one of these boats at moment.
John McGrath thanks they all ways more jobs to do on her must make follow on video cheers
We have just bought our first boat a Freeman 23. Your video is very helpful and hope to watch more form you in the future. Thank you very much!

yes only if you are not bigger that 5.11ft did you watch all nine video I should do a video out on the river she has now got her new canopy
Great job! Glad you kept the drinks cabinet original. Is there standing room inside the cabin?
Nikki Smith yes if you're 5.11ft or less did you watch all nine video ? I should really make another one on the river she has her new canopy as well.
