Research 2013 - Northwest Boats - 196 Freedom

~UNBRIDLED POWER PACKED INTO 19' CAN ONLY BE CALLED...FREEDOM.

Experience performance so singular, so impressive that it propels you to new levels of boating enjoyment and exhilaration. Bristling V8 jet power allows you to effortlessly navigate challenging whitewater, scoot cleanly across shallow riffles and tackle open water with confidence and comfort. Under power there are few obstacles you can't skirt. It's this brand of versatility that also makes the 196 Freedom an ideal tow rig for tubers, wakeboarding or water skiers and a capable all-around fishing machine for whatever you fancy.

Smart, full-featured and complete, everything you need is standard. The construction is Northwest Boats tough, designed for a lifetime of use with unerring attention to every detail. The Delta Performance Pad and chine design assures crisp, sure handling --- essential features when you're running tight, shallow grooves. White-water enthusiasts will appreciate their choice of jets, because Northwest Boats knows that all boating tastes aren't identical. On every level the 196 Freedom Inboard Jet delivers more, another Northwest Boat exclusive.
