Hey Jason,

I have the 2003 FM 175 with a yammy 115, and think it is a fine boat/motor combo. I have had no issues with the motor, (knock on wood), and no real issues with the boat. I wound up converting her to a 24v system and adding on a new TM and depth finders. She has held her own in 3-4 footers in LOTW and I like the width of the boat.
If I have two complaints they would be that she rides high in the bow and tends to act a bit like a kite in strong wind, so she can make it tough to fish structure as I'd like to. Putting an extra 1-2 batteries in the front hold, helps. The other complaint would be about the trailer. The yacht club trailer it came with is pretty cheaply made.
All in all though, a fine boat.
I hope this helps.
Joe
