I had the opportunity to get a back issue of Good Old Boat that did a review on the Freeport 36, that is a boat I would certainly consider. The only negative thing said was the early version of the swimdoor left the helmsman without a seat. It is a gorgeous boat inside and some very sweet lines. If the decision was a Freeport or a new Beneteau or Catalina, the Freeport would win hands down.
