Manufacturer provided description

Grady-White’s dual console line has long been a favorite among coastal homeowners for one compelling reason: versatility without compromise. The wide-beam, open 28-foot Freedom 285 moves effortlessly between spirited performance cruising and serious, feature-rich saltwater angling, delivering a driving experience that is genuinely pleasurable and reassuringly solid in all sea conditions.

Safety

Reassuring safety is built in from bow to stern with two automatic bilge pumps delivering a combined 2600 GPH (9842 LPH), basic flotation, and a low‑profile 316‑grade stainless steel bow rail. Skippers benefit from the Captain Grady digital boat systems and operations guide for iPad and iPhone, while cockpit toe rails and a water‑impervious composite stringer system and transom elevate confidence underfoot. Synthetic teak flooring adds secure traction and durability, and the self‑bailing cockpit with cockpit drains (four) and stainless steel through‑hull fittings quietly manages water so you can focus on the voyage ahead.

Cockpit and deck equipment

Crafted for command and comfort, the Freedom 285 features a 100% hand‑laid hull and deck, with both a 12V accessory outlet and a 5V duplex USB port ready for your devices. An anchor windlass with remote switches at the helm and bow pairs with a battery select switch, flush‑mount pop‑up cleats, and through‑bolted 316‑grade stainless deck hardware to streamline every departure and arrival. The cockpit surrounds you with bolsters, a recessed freshwater shower, blue LED lighting, a starboard cockpit step, a companion grab rail, a compass, a cutting board, and a flush‑mount electronics area, while drink holders (twelve) and a helm footrest elevate day‑long ease. Maintenance is simplified by a factory engine pre‑rigging and an engine flush system with an aft hose attachment (one per engine). Cold‑storage capacity is abundant with a 135‑qt starboard forward insulated fish/ice box with overboard drain and a 185‑qt (175.1 l) aft insulated fish/ice box with light and overboard drain. Range comes courtesy of a 201‑gallon (761 l) fuel tank. The painted‑frame aluminum hardtop integrates a storage net, speakers (two in lieu of helm), LED spreader lights, tri‑colored red/blue/white LED recessed lights (four), side‑mounted rod holders (four), outrigger plates, and front and side curtains in elegant ivory. The lockable head console is thoughtfully appointed with a dome light, bulk storage, a mirror with shelf, a marine head with macerator, a 10‑gallon (38 l) holding tank with pump‑out, and a composite cherry‑and‑holly sole. For precision running attitude there are hydraulic trim tabs with indicator and retractor, and an integrated outboard mounting system with swim platform and ladder (four steps). International lighting enhances visibility, while the 32‑gallon (121.1 l) aft insulated raw‑water livewell with light, a full‑column distribution inlet, and overboard drain is powered by an 1100 GPH pump (4164 LPH). Anglers will appreciate rod holders (four), horizontal rod storage racks (three), and a high‑density PVC rubrail with stainless steel insert. Seating is indulgent and versatile: a deluxe companion seat with an electromechanically extendable lounge, an electromechanically adjustable helm bench with flip‑up bolster and an integrated aft‑facing deluxe wet bar with Corian countertop, fire extinguisher holder, sink, and storage drawers (three), a fold‑away aft bench with cushion, and plush port and starboard bow box cushions. Steering is hydraulic tilt, complemented by a 316‑grade stainless steel wheel with knob. Entertainment flows through a stereo system with AM/FM tuner, MP3 auxiliary audio connections/amplifier, Bluetooth, remote control, and fold‑down storage, playing through speakers aft (two), in the bow (two), and in the hardtop (two). Practical touches abound, including heavy‑duty 316 stainless steel stern eyes; a forward anchor locker with rode storage; a lockable starboard console compartment with light; a port bow storage box; a starboard console storage drawer with tackle trays (four); a fiberglass bow table that doubles in the cockpit; a fiberglass transom door; a pressurized raw‑water washdown with hose; a 20‑gallon (75.7 l) freshwater tank; and a walk‑through tempered‑glass windshield with a stainless steel header, windshield washer, and a starboard windshield wiper.
