i just purchased this boat is their any issues that are common with these and was it a fair deal its a 92 lowe 17.5 fish and ski boat with a 70 evinrude. interior in great shape runs great with a roller trailer for $2500
Congratulations on the new rig, looks like it's ready to hit the water
That Evinrude is a good outboard and everything seems to have been maintained pretty well. That Garmin fishfinder is just like mine, nice little graph.
i have already had it out in duxbury bay twice it ran great and everything worked great the only problem it stalled once while trolling for a hour i guess that was too long once i opened it up it ran perfect.i was suprised how little amout of water comes in for an aluminum boat it never reached the bottom of the bilge pump so for so good.
If it did I'd use it for trolling...you could carbon up that 70hp by idling too much. I have a 5.5hp kicker and I love how fuel-efficient it is when I'm trolling for long periods of time. My Minn Kota gets plenty of use as well.
i have taken this boat out in the bay five more times its been running great .
very suprised how well it takes the chop i thought aluminum being light would be rough.lowe makes a solid boat.
