SERIOUS DEEP-V PERFORMANCE
Fishability is critical, but if you can't get there comfortably, securely - and dry - then it's not a serious fishing boat. The FM175 is a serious fishboat with a deep-V hull, high freeboard and transom. Its V-Tech™, hull is designed to run big water with ease and handle with precision. At rest, it's remarkably stable for its type and size. You and your partner can work around the boat in comfort, both forward and aft.
Standard pre-rigged package includes your choice of Mercury® outboard* (up to 115 hp), MotorGuide® WR55 trolling motor, Lowrance® X50DS Fishfinder with temp, choice of two color coordinated exterior/interior schemes, acrylic/ABS molded console with tinted windshield, anti-feedback steering with soft grip wheel, full Teleflex® instrumentation, 27 gallon built-in gas tank with in-dash gauge, 18 oz. stain resistant carpet and a painted bunk trailer w/ swing tongue.
*Lowe factory packaged boats are available with various horsepower Mercury outboards. Standard equipment and options vary from model to model. See charts for details.
