Has anyone here seen or read about these new outboard that Freedom Outboards is putting out? They are a 4-stroke, closed-loop cooling, surface drive style motor. They are being made off of Mercury 40HP and 60HP 4-strokes. This just may be the ticket for the guys who want the mud motor versatility while having the outboard speed, sound and reliability.

After watching the video, I do not see it being the “best” at anything, rather somewhere in the middle of an outboard and mud motor. After a couple years of trouble free production, I could see one hanging off a 1760 Retriever Jon behind my pickup…Good size and layout for river walleyes, while offering excellent shallow water capabilities for fall festivities! No more need for 2 boats when you can have one that is good enough for the girls I go out with!
