Research 2011 - Lowe Boats - FM 165

~Serious Compact Deep-V Performance

Our best-selling FM165 deep-V combines all of the standard fishing features you expect from a larger, more expensive boat. This completely fish-ready boat package is designed to handle big-water with a smooth, dry ride. With its all-welded construction, heavy-duty extruded keel and lifting strakes it’s built for years of reliable fishing, while its rugged, handsome interior is as easy to care for as it is to fish.

Key package features include: your choice of Mercury® outboard *(up to 75 hp) and a painted bunk trailer with swing tongue. Tournament-class fishing features include a lighted 43.5" long, 23 gallon bow livewell with timer, bait bucket and super-reliable Flow-Rite® plumbing, a port-side 7' rod locker, additional starboard rod/gear locker, roomy in-deck storage compartments and two movable pedestal fishing seats with five seat bases. Also includes: driver's seat with slider, rotomolded console with full Teleflex® instrumentation, anti-feedback steering with soft-grip wheel, interior courtesy light, 27 gallon built-in gas tank with in-dash gauge, 16 oz. stain resistant carpet throughout and a choice of six color coordinated exterior/interior schemes.
