New for 2010, the F165 Fishing Machine® is a rugged, all-welded, “back-to-basics” boat designed for anglers looking for maximum fishability at a bargain price. Standard components include: full-carpeting, a rotomolded helm console with windshield, a Mercury® 25hp, 4-stroke outboard and a custom-fit, painted bunk trailer. Fishing features include a 43.5” wide, 23 gallon bow livewell with removable baitwell and reliable Flow-Rite® plumbing. The F165 also includes a 7’ in-floor locker, roomy in-deck storage boxes, side gunnel storage compartments, driver's seat and one pedestal fishing seat. While value priced, this purpose-built boat is dedicated to serious fishing. An extra-wide 70.5” bottom and 82” beam provides more usual space inside the boat for larger storage compartments and livewells, as well as larger casting decks. Its extra-wide V-Tech™ hull is designed to slice through nasty chop while its reverse chines provide an aggressive bite for precise handling.
Important options include: Your choice of Mercury® outboard power up to 60 HP, W55 MotorGuide® wireless or Minn Kota® PD55 trolling motor, Lowrance® X50 DS dual search fishfinder, additional pedestal fishing seats, a choice of instrumentation, a custom-fit canvas mooring cover and a galvanized trailer upgrade.
