| Any thoughts/advice on the Lowe 175 FM? Looks like a decent layout on this model in the pic I've attached. Appreciate any experiences from those who have had a Lowe. I'm assuming the concensus is that a Crestliner 1750 is a better rig but is the Lowe worthy option that is well constructed??
Thanks!

| I looked at both. crestliners are very nice, but i think you get just as much or more with the Lowe. that being said, i have been looking for a used lowe165FM for 3 years and found 2. so apparently people that buy them dont ever resell them. I saw an ad on minneaplois craigslist for 1 1750 fishawk within the last week that is a great deal. just not looking to buy that big of a boat. |

| Nice layout. If you're looking for more options you could look into an Alumacraft Navigator. The have a similar layout and there's a lot of them around. |

Location: oswego, il | I have looked over this boat and thought it was nice and well priced. I have a 1750 that I could not pass up. The only thing you may want to consider if you get one, like my 1750, build or get a rear deck extension.

| The Lowes tend to move a lot in the wind. The higher sides make it more of a sail effect. The Crestliner and Alumacraft sit lower. If you are fishing bigger lakes it may make a difference. If they are small to mid you should be ok with the lowe. |
