FISHING MACHINE
FM185S
If you're looking for a tough, all-welded fishboat with a "full list" of tournament-class angling features, the FM185S is your answer. This purpose-built boat is dedicated to serious fishing. Our extra-wide V-Tech™ hull is designed to slice through nasty chop while its reverse chines provide an aggressive bite for precise handling. And, of course, we build in standard all of the fishing features you demand.

Standard pre-rigged package includes your choice of outboard* (up to 150 hp), Minn Kota® 55PD trolling motor, Navman® 4430 Fishfinder with temp, choice of three color coordinated exterior/interior schemes, acrylic/ABS molded console with tinted windshield, anti-feedback steering with soft grip wheel, full Teleflex® instrumentation, 38 gallon built-in gas tank with in-dash gauge, 16 oz. stain resistant carpet and a painted bunk trailer.

*Lowe factory packaged boats are available with various horsepower outboards from the leading manufacturers. Standard equipment and options vary from model to model. See charts for details.

NMMA Certified
All boats meet or exceed United States Coast Guard and Canadian Coast Guard regulations and the National Marine Manufacturers Association Certification Standards to ensure that your boat exceeds critical safety and construction requirements.
