Fishability is critical, but if you can't get there comfortably, securely - and dry - then it's not a serious fishing boat. The FM175 is a serious fishboat with a deep-V hull, high freeboard and transom. Its V-Tech™, hull is designed to run big water with ease and handle with precision. At rest, it's remarkably stable for its type and size. You and your partner can work around the boat in comfort, both forward and aft.
Key standard package features include your choice of Mercury® outboard, full Teleflex® instrumentation and a painted bunk trailer with swing tongue. Tournament-class fishing features include a 44" long, 23 gallon bow livewell with bait bucket and 14.5 gallon stern livewell with timers and super-reliable Flow-Rite® plumbing, a 7'6" rod locker, roomy in-deck storage compartments and two movable pedestal fishing seats. Also includes driver's seat with slider, acrylic/ABS molded console, anti-feedback steering with soft grip wheel, 27 gallon built-in gas tank with in-dash gauge, 16 oz. stain resistant carpet and a choice of four color coordinated exterior/interior schemes. Key options include a MotorGuide® wireless trolling motor, Lowrance® X50DS fish locator with temp, plus vinyl floors for heavy-duty use and downrigger brackets for deep water action.
