Hello, Freedom Boats USA LLC. opened "Marine Service" in 1984 as a fiberglass repair shop. In 1989, we built the Flatlander 21. The Flatlander 21 was a great success in running shallow, floating shallow, and getting up shallow. It would turn and handle well, but the boat had drawbacks including rough riding and it was wet running. Our second boat, the Flatlander 24 had a better ride but was still a wet riding boat. During our early years in boat building, we realized the way of building a boat by "lofting" or "off the wall" was very expensive in time and money, with no way to recover the cost of building and tooling for these boats easily.
In 2004, we met and started working with Mr. David Lemke. Mr. Lemke has an extensive working background in Auto-CAD (Computer Aided Design) specifically for boat hull designs. Mr. Lemke along with Auto-CAD has completely changed the way we think about boat building. We used to dream up a boat design and start physically building hull designs, after months of errors and starting over we would finally get the design right.
Through our conversations we agreed there had to be a more efficient way to design and produce fiberglass boats. Building a new design following the traditional way is expensive in labor and money, and it requires a lot of sold boats to pay for the expense of building a new hull design. Simplicity and time saving in all stages of producing a hull had to become our most important factor.
