Research 2011 - Lowe Boats - Stinger 160

~Compact SuperWide Mod-V Bass

With the Stinger 160, Lowe's designers zeroed in on anglers' needs in the compact size range delivering one of the best performing, most stable hulls in its class. Its 77" super-wide decks provide 59 sq ft of angling space combined with 9.6 cu ft of storage - over 20% more than the leading competitor's 17' model. The wider deck also delivers an extra-large 7' rod locker, a pro-level 44", 23 gallon aerated and divided bow livewell/baitwell combo with timer, bait bucket and super-reliable Flow-Rite® plumbing for superior fish keeping, plus four large in-deck storage compartments for your gear.

The pre-rigged package includes: your choice of Mercury® outboard* (up to 50 hp), MotorGuide® FW46FB trolling motor, Lowrance® X50DS fishfinder with temp, rotomolded console with soft-grip wheel and anti-feedback steering, full Teleflex plug & play instrumentation, driver & passenger seats with under-seat storage, two movable pedestal fishing seats with two seat bases, 13 gallon built-in gas tank with in-dash gauge and a painted bunk trailer w/ swing tongue.

Maximum performance is ensured with a ProTrac™ modified-V hull design that tapers from an 8˚ shallow V at the transom to a progressively deeper V at the bow for a smoother, drier ride. For lasting durability, Stingers feature: PowerGrid™ rib & stringer construction, TufDeck™ all-aluminum decks and floor liners, 16 oz. stain resistant carpet throughout and baked-on polyurethane paint.

Key options include: pro pole fishing seat, center passenger seat, fitted mooring cover, galvanized trailers and choice of six color coordinated exterior/interior schemes.

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