Nice! I've had a Falcon F185 for over two years now and I love it. It's loaded, but I saved tens of thousands of dollars by getting an 18' class boat over one that's just a couple of feet longer. Plus it's easy to pull, fits in my garage, gets into tight spaces and holds everything I'd ever need.

[@iowaal7671]

Everyone complaining about boat prices forgets it’s the cost of the motor, trolling motor, electronics, poles etc that add up. They cost the same no matter what brand boat you get. It’s why aluminum boats are not much cheaper. This looks like a solid deal from falcon and has me interested. I had an 18.5 foot boat with a 150 back in the day and it was great but this would be way better with a modern engine etc.

[@mannyortega9667]

Talking about 41k like is pocket change lol. You gotta deal with the prices at the pump, you have to factor in maintenance, you need a trailer and a vehicle capable of towing said “affordable bass boat”.

​@BrianLatimerFishing I wasn't trying to be negative, just coming from a family guy who works and invests, etc. These boats to us are a no-no. I mean, buying a car these days is a red flag, not to mention something we can't get into over 5 days a week, and it shows no returns is a huge mistake for us. We are picky now on whether buying or renting has more worth or not. A cheap boat 41k.💵🚮 But if you are looking into the professional angler which is what you were referring to. Great buy. 100% best route

[@bradobrien4371]

I've never considered a falcon boat until watching this video. Pretty slick boat for the price. I have a tracker 175txw with a 75hp, wouldn't mind upgrading to something a little bigger in a few years. I'd definitely consider this boat when I do decide to upgrade.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

I think you’ll love this as a upgrade. Especially if you use a smaller tow vehicle. It also is a great boat for smaller storage options too

[@calebhigginbotham19]

Proud of Falcon for making this boat and it feels a specific niche. But the truth of it is buying new just dont make too too much sense right now. Used is the way to go. Can get a 20-21 foot used fiberglass boat that is less than 5 years old with electronics for 53,000. What is your opinion on going the used route vs buying this kind of boat new ?

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

I actually would never even really make the comparison. What do you need? What do you want? How much do you have? What do you have to tow it with? How big is your storage? Find the boat that fits all of that. This boat isn’t a replacement for bigger boats. It’s literally it’s own boat for its own purposes. Think of it this way. Is the 7/16 wrench a better buy than a used 3/4” wrench? They both are tools that are needed for the job they are created for.

I like the Falcon Freedom 18. Nice layout and simplicity to add your own touches. Kind of mixed on the way the rod boxes open. I seem to be tall enough to reach into the coffin style without getting into the boat LOL. Seems like you would have to step off the front deck to pull rods out. The back hatch however is awesome the way it can open! Though, I would be more inclined to get if it could be optioned with a dual axle trailer and a 175hp (Phoenix) or a 200hp like (Triton) but of course that's going to change the price point significantly. Thanks for the video Brian!

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Sounds like the 195 is the boat you’re looking for. Exact same layout and a foot longer

[@luigimamone2120]

Here up in Canada nothing is affordable. You need the vehicle to tow that’s 60,000 new 40,000 used, the boats are anywhere between 50,000 to 80,000 and then best of all is the tax on all these items. Sad!

I didn't know Falcon had a cheaper boat. That's not a bad deal at all. I just picked up a project boat for $1000. Guy inherited the boat from his father in-law and seriously didn't know how to start it, so he didn't know if it ran. I've got it running, got new seats coming for it and gonna re-carpet. 2005 19ft nitro.

I saltwater fish inshore and near shore along with trips to catch freshwater striper a few times a year. I purchased a new Carolina skiff DLX2180 in 2006 with a Suzuki 115 for $13,200. Installed a trolling motor, 7" Lowrance and a few years later a 9" Simrad and one power pole, fished out of that boat a lot for 13 years. Since 2019 I have been running 24' bay boats, expensive setups but it's just what I want. That being said, I don't catch any more fish from the expensive bay boat than I did the cheap skiff.

I love falcon decided to bring this option to the market. For the majority of anglers whether they fish 2 times a year or every week this is more than enough to meet 95% of angler needs. unless you’re constantly in big water or fish professionally where sponsors/league require 250hp 20+ foot boats there’s not much of practical need for one other than a status symbol

Any boat is a compromise. I have always felt that the 18ft 150hp boats that were the standard tournament boat in the 80's and 90's were better more versatile fishing boats than the 21ft 250hp boats that are popular these days. I've been running various 18ft 150hp boats for the last 40 years and have no desire to run a bigger boat.

I’ve had a couple 20 & 21 footers. They are great for rough water. I’d much rather fish from a stable 18’ class boat with a 150-175 though. I hate fishing out of the bigger boats. I have an 18 footer now, and I love it. If I buy another, it’ll be something in the 18’ class for sure.

To be honest boat prices will not be coming down anytime soon. Looking at this boat right off the factory floor, it has everyone elses 18ft glass boats beat hands down when comparing specs. Look at all the storage, look at the access to the batteries and pumps and all the space. How many people fish lakes that require a 70+ mph boat. The boat shown spece'd out at just under 54k rigged is quite a deal. Yes many people buy a older boat and re hab them, in all reality when complete you still have a old boat and motor with backyard workmanship and no warranty.

[@nowaconstrictor]

I love the vision Falcon had but I still can’t justify it. $42k is a great price but not for the options it comes with. An edge trolling motor and 5” graph is laughable as far as new boat technology. If a boat manufacturer can come out with an 18’ boat under $45k with an ultrex, a 9+ inch graph for the console and bow, and FFS or 360… then I’ll be all on board. Inflation is killing the fishing industry.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Isn’t wild that we as anglers usually complain about prices while demanding the latest and cutting edge technology 😂? I think about this all the time. Everything we want exist already. For some reason we just feel entitled to have it given to us at the price we feel is fair with no experience or knowledge in boat building. 🤦🏾‍♂️ we the anglers should start a boat company!!!!

[@c.shoefish]

That's a nice rig, but shit, I can barely afford to put gas in my own truck and boat sometimes....these damn kids and their sports and the wife got me tight as hell. It's all good though....I consider myself lucky, I have a reliable truck, a reliable little 16' tiller boat that gets me on the water and everyone is healthy and happy. Ill get there eventually, if there's one quality i have, its determination.

Ya'll, you can bitch about it all you want but 41k for a brand new bass boat, a Falcon at that, with a 150 is as good as it gets now. Super impressive in today's market. Can you get it rigged with with other motor manufacturer from the factory? We can't turn back time and make new 21 ft boats 30k again. Just will never happen. Nothing gets cheaper. Ever. So complaining to Brian does nothing but be annoying.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

@@joeg1709 yeah you can get any engine you want! People are commenting with all the intelligence they have 😂. They literally have no intentions of being a boat owner. They just need a place to spew. I’m here for it.

[@joeg1709]

@@BrianLatimerFishing good to know you can get it rigged however you want. If I was a shorter man, this would be a no brainer. I'm not much of a speed guy anyway and the best boat I ever had was a 1997 Javelin 379 with a 115 intruder that ran like a sewing machine. Just too tall for it, needed more room to fit. Keep up the good work, my man

[@Bbbbbbbbbbxxxx]

Yet I can go out in my aluminum boat with a 40 hp motor with absolutely no electronics and catch a limit of fish of all species. Experience, skill, stealth and patience cannot be replaced with fancy electronics.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Awesome! Glad you’re getting out having fun doing what you love.

[@mnrcbasher877]

41k is roughly $500ish a month payments, around 9% interest and 10 years! That's a lot ot money. These boat prices need to drop and rates. No middle class family can afford them. It's ridiculous

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Well the cost is the cost. The solution is to find a boat that fits the budget of the “middle class” angler. There’s way too many options available. Perhaps if 500$ a month is too much a new boat isn’t in the realm of possibility for the angler at the moment.

@@BrianLatimerFishing no FFS, can't keep up with the rest of the field speed wise. Even regular club tournaments have a majority rigged boats with 250s that can do 70 mph to get to the spot.

Sorry Brian love you but boat prices are crazy. Just fiberglass and a motor. There is one fifth of the technology and manufacturing of a car but same price. Base boat has 2 $600 graphs and some batteries for $50,000 is just dumb. Don't get me wrong I have a boat because I am just dumb with my money I guess. At the same time not a single bass boat out there with boat and motor only is worth 55k.
