I saw a Freedom 25 for sale in Hawaii recently…
It’s one of my favorite Gary Hoyt designs and, with an asking price of $5.8K it would make a very nice VolksCruiser. I expect, one might be able to get it for a bit less.
The smaller Freedoms by their very nature are really great boats that have edged in to the affordable zone so you might want to check out the Hoyt thirty-foot and under designs.
