Lowe Introduces All-Welded Deep-V Series For 2005, Lowe Boats introduces two lines of all-welded deep-Vs, the side console Fishing Machine and the Fish & Ski with twin consoles and a walk-thru windshield. The Fishing Machine® Series - A Power Tool For The Serious Angler If you’re looking for a rugged "all-welded" fishing boat with a full list of tournament-class angling features then a Lowe Fishing Machine is the answer. Available in three models, (FM185, FM175 and FM165) these are purpose-built boats dedicated specifically to serious fishing. Lowe builds-in all the key fishing features serious anglers require - standard. Fishability Serious anglers know how important open, uncluttered space is in a fish boat, so Lowe Fishing Machine’s are built on an extra-wide hull bottom they call WideTrac™. This added inside space allows extra-large rod lockers, plus an oversized 44" / 17 gallon bow livewell and 14.5 gallon stern livewell (FS175 and FS185) for those lunkers. They even include a built-in bow baitwell. And, of course, they include a Minn Kota® PowerDrive trolling motor, Humminbird® fishfinder and dry tackle storage boxes in the deck. For anglers with specialized requirements, Lowe offers vinyl floors, downriggers brackets, extra fishing seats and a folding top. Performance Fishability is critical, but if you can’t get there comfortably and securely then it’s not a serious fishing boat. Fishing Machines are big water boats with a high freeboard and transom. These variable deep-V hulls are designed to slice through nasty chop while their reverse chines lay down the spray and provide an aggressive bite for precise handling. At rest, these are among of the most stable hulls of their type and size. You and your partner can work around the boat in comfort, both forward and aft. Durability Lowe understands that dedicated anglers spend a lot of time on the water, so every Fishing Machine is backed by a Lifetime Warranty and built to take a pounding year after year. To ensure maximum toughness, they’re all-welded from .100 gauge 5052 H-34 marine grade aluminum. The best aluminum for this heavy-duty application. Throughout the hull, in all critical areas, you’ll find tough, thick-wall aluminum extrusions, not shaped aluminum sheet components you find on lesser boats. The Fish & Ski Series - A Multi-Purpose Water Utility Vehicle When your family needs a boat that truly does it all, the "all-welded" Lowe Fish & Ski models are the perfect Water Utility Vehicle (WUV). All Fish & Ski models (FS185, FS175 and FS165) are designed to match the specific requirements for every watersports activity from fishing to skiing to cruising. The choice is yours! Multi-Fun Watersports Whether your family is into skiing, boarding or tubing, all three FS models offer the perfect set-up. Their quick-planning V-tech™ hulls are available with a wide selection of outboard power to deliver the performance you want. With side ski storage, in-deck dry storage boxes and a JBL Marine stereo just bring on the glassy water. And, for even more on-water fun, add special watersports options like a stowable ski pylon, swim platform with ladder, 100 channel Sirius satellite radio access and you have the ideal Ski boat. Multi-Species Fishing From small lakes to big impoundments, from Crappie to Musky, the FS models offer all the fishing features anglers need. Their extra-wide deck plans feature tournament-class forward & aft livewells (FS175 and FS185), large rod lockers, and roomy, raised casting decks - all standard. Customize your FS for serious fishing with optional features like, vinyl floors, trolling motors, fishfinders, downrigger mounts, folding tops, full enclosures and your FS is as fish-ready as they get. Multi-Activity Vehicle Your all-family fun doesn’t end with fishing and skiing. With a full-windshield, soft ridding variable deep-V hull and comfortable seating, an FS means extra days of on-water adventures. Add options like the bow insert cushions, a fully enclosed top with side curtains and your FS becomes a great weekend camper. And, you don’t have to stop after just one lake, all FS models come standard with a top quality easy-to-load, easy-to-haul trailer. Best of all, Lowe deep-Vs are made from lightweight aluminum for economical trailering.
