I would think that with a hydraulic swim platform, there would be no need for a Freedom Lift, just a set of cradles.  I have the FL on my 43 Sovran and feel that because it is mounted so far aft, performance is affected, however, it is hard to tell since i bought the boat with the lift....which happens to be terrific.  I have a 11'2" Achilles HB with a 20 HP motor and I believe it weighs in at around 240 lbs..
Good Luck

you are correct. I was replying based on the load limits and recommendations for different size boats. The FL folks are good about advising on weight vs. performance...didn't mean to confuse.
