I am looking at purchasing a 2006 Fisher Freedom 2210 DLX - Deck Boat for around $12000. The interior was great but the hull was very dirty and would need to be cleaned. The exposed part of the motor had a good bit of erosion but the seller had it serviced and parts replaced that needed. The ride was incredible but in my research today I am hearing Fishers are notorious for hulls cracking and leaking because they are welded aluminum. With this one having been left in the water for a couple of months, am I crazy to even consider this boat? Are welded aluminum hulls a red flag for boats? I thought I wanted a deck boat so we could cruise the river but also fish as we wanted to. I could really use seasoned advice quickly!

I think a cuddy would be more comfortable if you are looking for a bed to sleep on :p

Welcome to the forums :)

There are some deckboats with fiberglass tri-hull bottom and a pontoonish top.

LMBO was that you???!!!. JB closed the thread before I could say anything silly like I prefer bear bottles because they're harder for the bears to escape from. That was funny. Too bad it got snippy. Happens.

lol, yeah it was me <eyesroll>. I rely so much on spell check, it sucks when you misplace a letter and it turns the meaning of the word completely. =\

I have a 1999 fisher all welded hull, It has a lifetime guarantee for the welds. Never had a problem, however, a lifetime guarantee is comfort.
