None of that gets them out of a recheck. New batteries go dead when something draws on them and there is insufficient replenishment. Repeated cycles can "age" a battery, in other words, reduce its ability to recover to what its full charge used to be. A bad cable or defective alternator can be a problem. Incorrectly wired or defective isolator can also lead to a house bank not getting sufficient charger. Dont assume these things are good, test them.

Freeboard is where the top of the gunwales meets up to the waterline. How high the boat sticks out of the water. These taller boats like the FI and the RI have created more subfloor room for subfloor weight. My SV233 gunwales are shorter (not much) than @DrNate's 240 making less room for interior weight and shorter Gladiator tower. My 2014 was ordered without RAMFILL because 233s hold more weight without RAMFILL. Plus you get an extra 2 speakers in a 233 with oldschool bags. I went off a little bit I know. LOL
