Great Tour. 12Weeks from START TO FINISH PRODUCT WITH THAT KIND OF QUALITY IS IMPRESSIVE. FUSION CONSTRUCTION is the future for the BOATING INDUSTRY. FREEMAN BUILDS USING FUSION, Great Job FREEMAN, Great Job Captain Nick‼️👨🏻✈️. Vinny 🇺🇸
Very interesting Video but I had to force myself to watch it until the end because of the very fast and bad panning ! You definitely should slow it way done please, I almost feel dizy right now.
Hahahahaha! Alright where you taking me to lunch 😂😂 awesome tour of the factory #Stanzfam !! Thanks for bringing us along! Hope everyone over at #FreemanBoatworks is doing well and working hard!! What an amazing boat and company! #MadeInTheUSA
Imagine all these complainers ... to fish a Freeman with a family I have dealt with since 1960s , if it was a 2x4 with a trolling motor , NO COMPLAINTS . He’s a fisherman , video is great , your family is an institution in the Keyes . NC and SC have some of the countries greatest boat builders in the US . Freeman is the best hull floating . I never seen it’s equal .
I’m not the biggest fan of Freeman boats, I feel there are competitors with better products, however I respect any man that takes chances in life to make it for his family, legal chances of course. That is why America will overcome the current situation and once again thrive. America is full of no nonsense entrepreneurs.
Jokes back and forth...too funny. Scott seems like he was takin the jokes pretty good. Side door ---$20,000 for me. .18,000 for a reg cutstomer😂😂😂 Boats look sick
As for the camera panning everyone is talking about, I think that's what happens when you change the data points coming in (panning or something moving/changing quickly) on a higher definition setting. As I am watching it at the moment it has the "HD" logo on the setting menu. The processor has a hard time managing the focus and absorbing all the new data. It would probably be a lot smoother on a lower def setting but you wouldn't get HD. This is the difference between shooting something with a phone or cheap camera vs pro (really expensive) gear.
I like that your sponsons are wide enough for two outboards. I also like the big cockpit. Can you put doors on it that slide back and forth protecting from wind? Will you build bigger, say 52"-54'? Bigger boats take big seas better. What's the tunnel width?
A very impressive tour of the Freeman Factory. I did notice however, power equipment and power tools being used without one single employee wearing eye protection, hearing protection,or gloves. These are OSHA safety violations that need to be addressed before OSHA addresses Freeman about their safety. policies.
I’ve been curious about this and so I told myself well just ask, and I seen on the boat tour that the majority of those Freeman’s were being powered with Mercury and I’ve seen a couple with Suzuki’s! So how come u went with Yamaha instead of Mercury or Suzuki? Nothing against Yamaha because I like Yamaha, I was just curious!!
Honestly it's pretty cheap compared to others. For example a new Grady costs over $700K in addition to a new whaler. So yes it's expensive but it's a bargain compared to others.
Next time, have a third person who does all the filming while you talk to the guy. Secondly, wire up for sound so the quality is stable. It'll make all the difference and people will actually watch the entire video. I shut it off after 1.5 minutes. Your trying to do to much, to fast, at the viewers expense.
If you want a boat with nonstop problems then this is the boat for you. Freeman touted the "American Dream" story. Not our experience. $1.3 milion later, we can't use our boat. I would never do business with Freeman again. Their boats are grossly overrated.

Hi ya from PA! Thanks Nick! That was great to see how the boats were made!🛥️🚤

slow down the camera please. Great place. Awesome
I work on aircraft composites for a living , I’m glad to see resin infusion process implemented in modern boats
It looks so simple and yet so complicated to put it all together. I want the sea trial mans job!

Thanks for sharing the video. Your camera wasn't keeping up with all the fast panning.
Thanks. I need to start using the big camera instead of the phone I guess
Sweet tour sweet boat!!!
They must be rolling out a ton of boats if it's a 3 year wait but make a boat in 3 months!! Great to see it's all hand made

Great tour, much appreciated.
You need to learn the difference between a MOTOR and an ENGINE ------ look it up.
Nobody cares about the technical difference but you. Engines and motors are the same thing to majority of the world
Beautiful boat!! If I only had the money…
Imagine the value of all the outboards in that wear house.
Hey Captain I’m glad you’re up front with the price , most others just blow you off keep up the good work 👍

You've come a long way from your earlier production quality. Keep improving thanks for the vids 👍
Thanks! Appreciate it!!
I wonder if J Buffett’s boat is somewhere in there…

Nice too see men working and not robots👍
Best boats peroid
Need to watch The Freeman story on here tells of how he started the company
Great video, I must have watched it 4 times.

Well be putting my order soon
at > 64.7 K views , great advertising , cant get that at a boat show

Just went to an interview here. I had NO Idea the rep these guys have. Glad I didn't I would have been super nervous.
Where they put d fuel tank n Wat d biggest they made to put in there boat
@stanzfam, do they put S7 outboards on Freeman's?
I’ve been curious about this and so I told myself well just ask, and I seen on the boat tour that the majority of those Freeman’s were being powered with Mercury and I’ve seen a couple with Suzuki’s!

Check out Jimmy buffets freeman
Your getting a new boat!
Great video ,now figure out the volume control.
your making me dizzy but good tour
Thanks, The next tour will be better 👊🏻👊🏻. One of my first videos
Half a million for a 37' boat. Crazy
Honestly it's pretty cheap compared to others. For example a new Grady costs over $700K in addition to a new whaler. So yes it's expensive but it's a bargain compared to others.
best handling while being one of the fastest CCs available. If you have the money worth every dollar.
thats what dreams look like getting made..
How bout some specs like beam width tunnel width(I'm surprised it's as narrow as it is)fuel tankage etc.
If you see one in person. They're not narrow at all. They sit deep in the water.
Would appreciate if you can send me the general specification, materials used, comparing with aluminium tubes.?
Send me your Web site
Thanks
Watching this video almost made me sick. The constant moving of the camera was so hard to watch.
How many did they employ
Awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Sorry, your camera swinging is too much to enjoy the video,
just slooooooow down on your camera panning
Made me dizzy !!!
I work for Pursuit boats
Cool, this was my first time in a boat factory. Neat to see the boats come to life
5:49 dem voids doh
I heard they only pay jon boat wages
Slow down with the camera PANNING. It was nauseating to watch this video
stupid camera work. Good advice slow down as everything is blurred.
How much these boats worth
Borris Ashley 400-800k on average
From what I gathered a decently optioned 37 starts at the 600 mark, I haven’t seen one below it
Bad camera.
Boating, still a very expensive industry
Need another camera great content just bad videography. I am not a professional

Do tell J B
Great looking operation, but your camera work sucks.
terrible camera movement. headache.
It was almost a nice video but the camera work made me seasick.
We dont give a ...... if you think that you are... Tom Cruise.
700k later.....
bad filming, bad audio.
Kevin Woodward thanks for watching. Make sure to subscribe, the videos can only go up from here : )
Don't listen to these hatter about bad video quality and audio
video unwatchable
Glad to see no one wearing those stupid masks.

dude - learn to film, your panning is miserable and your mic'ing is just as bad. too bad as your content is very interesting
The videos have got better 🤣🤣
Sorry mate!!!,,,, Could have been a VERY interesting visit if you fu...ng knew how to use a bloody camera.... Cheers anyway!
