A Complete Walkthrough of the FM 1875

Category: Boating Resources

Built for Anglers Who Like Their Options Wide Open

There’s a certain moment when you step onto a fishing boat and immediately know whether it’s been designed by people who actually fish. The Lowe FM 1875 delivers that feeling fast. It’s open where it should be open, smart where it needs to be smart, and ready for long days that start at dawn and end when the bite finally gives up. This walkthrough breaks down what makes the FM 1875 such a capable, flexible rig for anglers who want storage, power, and tech—without clutter or gimmicks.

Fishing Features & Technology
  • 12-gallon and 18-gallon aerated livewells
  • Six pedestal seat base
  • Two rear deck jump seats
  • Mounts for two large graphs at the helm and another at the bow

It’s perfect for anglers who demand pro-level performance, next-gen fishability, and optimized comfort. If you’re searching for a versatile fishing and family boat, the Fishing Machine 1875  deserves your attention. In this walkthrough, we’ll highlight this aluminum boat’s standout features, storage solutions, and why it’s a top choice for deep water anglers.

A Layout That Works from Stern to Bow

The first thing you notice at the back of the FM 1875 is how clean and functional the stern layout is. Two jump seats fold out when you need them and disappear when you don’t. Behind them, dual rear storage compartments give you space for gear you want close but out of the way. There’s also a dedicated livewell at the stern, positioned exactly where you want it during a busy day of casting, netting, and culling fish. Add in additional side storage and you start to see the theme: nothing wasted, everything intentional. 

Rod Storage That’s Actually Built for Real Rods

Rod storage can make or break a fishing boat, and this is where the FM 1875 quietly shines. The center rod locker opens wide to reveal space for up to 12 rods—laid out cleanly, protected, and easy to access.  This isn’t “marketing math” storage. It’s wide, open, and usable, even with longer setups and modern gear. If you’re the kind of angler who brings multiple techniques to the water, this boat understands you. Storage is a major highlight of the FM 1875. You’ll find: 

  • Center Locking Rod Storage w/ Rod Racks - Fits (12) 7'6" Rods 
  • Cockpit Port Rod Locker for (3) 8' Rods 
  • Massive storage lockers throughout the boat
  • Lockable Port Console Glove Box 

A Console Designed for Modern Electronics

At the helm, the FM 1875 leans into how anglers actually fish today. The tilt steering wheel provides comfort whether you’re running long distances or creeping through tight water. The console is built to support dual large-format graphs, with this setup showing twin 10-inch displays at the dash. There’s also a wireless charging pad within reach—one of those small features you don’t think about until you’re relying on your phone for mapping, weather, or photos of the day’s best catch.

Bow Fishing Platform: Organized, Elevated, Ready

Move forward and the FM 1875 opens into a well-thought-out bow fishing station. Up front, you’ll find another livewell that can double as storage when needed—perfect for anglers who like flexibility depending on the day’s plan. Deep storage compartments flank the bow, offering room for tackle, safety gear, and extras you don’t want underfoot. A pedestal fishing seat drops right into place, supported by removable seatbacks and cushions that let the bow transition easily from hardcore fishing mode to a more relaxed setup. 

 

A 10-inch graph at the bow keeps everything visible while working the trolling motor, which comes ready to go from the factory.

Power, Control, and a Little Extra Fun

The Lowe FM 1875 is rated for up to 200 horsepower, and this setup pairs it with a 200hp Mercury outboard for confident performance and quick runs between spots. A 9.9hp kicker motor adds precision control for trolling and extended fishing sessions. Powered by the all-new Power-Core™ hull, the model pictured is shown with a Mercury® 200XL Pro XS engine and includes an optional Pro Kicker for added versatility.

 

And when the rods are put away, the FM 1875 doesn’t mind switching gears. A ski tow comes standard for light watersports, and a rear boarding ladder makes getting back on board easy after a swim.

 

Available with full vinyl decking or optional carpeted decks, the FM 1875 reflects what Lowe Boats does best: building aluminum fishing boats that balance durability, fishability, and real-world versatility.

Built the Lowe Way

This is a boat for anglers who want room to spread out, power to run where the fish are, and a layout that never gets in the way of the day. No fluff. No wasted space. Just a solid fishing platform that’s ready when you are. Thinking about stepping into the Lowe FM 1875? It’s worth a closer look if your ideal boat day involves organized gear, modern electronics, and the freedom to fish your way—every time you leave the dock.
