Yeah, it wont. I owned a 1997 Sea Nymph FM168, very very similar boat with a 60hp Johnson and when I sold it 2 years ago it looked 10X better than that crusty thing.. It looks like the previous owner beat it like a red headed step child....

You're gonna like it kid. I had same boat....a 1996! I bought a Lowe fish n ski 1750 because of how well built my 1600 is. In fact, my brother in law has it in TX. Yrs, it still works like a charm.
I like the name you came up with... SLOWE. Nice rig man. I can tell you are proud of it. I like that you have not spoiled yourself... regardless of having so much experience and exotic trips under your belt. You just love fishing. Good stuff. Good luck with the new boat.
For the depth finder... Go with a Garmin echomap or strker series. Great value, down imaging, side imaging and you can create your own contour maps. You won't be disappointed.
Garmin will issue a software update soon to allow Navionics maps on their existing chartplotters. Echomap is the line of chartplotter, it's not the line of maps. Their maps are lakeVu, which suck.
I bought a Garmin striker 4 in 2016 for $259. They are selling the Same Garmin for $149. I asked why, and the answer I got was.. that Garmin bought navionics for 70 mil and is off loading their products at a reduced price to so people will buy them over hummingbird and lowerance, making their 70 mil back and looking at a new line with Navionics.. Just what I was told..
Having not watched this, and having no idea what is boat, from the thumbnail I thought you bought a new bass boat like Lunkers or LFG. Glad to see it was something more realistic. Eventually you'll get the stuff you want fixed and it'll be all yours.
I love the boat. As a captain on a Law Enforcement Interdiction unit in upstate NY, I was totally in the boat fever to purchase my own back in 2004. With my agency, I had access to top of the line interdiction 28' full cabin boats with twin Evinrude 300s. Now it was time for me to buy my 1st boat like you. With limited budget, I looked and looked and finally found almost the identical boat to what you have. It was the 1994 Lowe 1620 Fishing Machine. The previous owner took very good care of it and kept it garaged. It looked very good. I bought it for $5,000 at the time. With the knowledge that I had gained from my boat and engine experience from work, I traded the 1994 50hp Johnson outboard for a brand new 2007 60hp Evinrude E-Tec before moving to New Mexico in 2007. I knew there would be many marinas in NM to work on my outboard if needed. I did all kinds of little things to it, like new fish finder, stainless steel for the helm, binnacle compass, all new quality boat seats, new marine radio, one for music and a classic icom marine radio for maydays or emergencies on the water. She is the perfect boat for me. Though ugly, I put a whale tail on the outboard and she can handle water skiers no problem, if you so desire, up and out of the hole. I keep her out of the elements and garaged when not in use. I always detail clean her after use. I have had no problems with this boat and still consider her perfect for what I want for me and my family. We are moving back to NY and I look forward to hitting the St. Lawrence and lakes in the area. That's where that V-hull comes in handy, sometimes there's a little bit of chop on the water. Again, I love my boat because it has served me flawlessly. You can also boat all day less than half the gas most folks may need. She still looks sweet to me too!!! The saying comes to mind... Love is in the eye of the beholder!! You truly have a sweet boat there my friend!! :) Tks for the video! PS- Name it "Sweet Caroline"
I know this is an older video, but it warms my middle aged heart to see the younger generation bringing back the early 80's Flock of Seagulls hair style. LOL.
I got some boat name ideas.... - "Lucky" Strike - Davey Jon's Locker - Crusty Bucket (or Crust Bucket) - Tin Cup - Half Sunk - Ebb n' Lowe - Fish'n for "Biggie Smalls" - When Hairy met Lucky - Crusty Bass-tard - Recycle Me - Bad Hair Day Great boat! Can't wait to see the new name and future videos.
Lowe makes good boats. I had my stinger 175 for 6 years an never had a problem. 50hp mercury 2 stroke fired up every time. This boat just needs some love. Nice Rig John. Just give it a good once over and you'll be set for some awesome fishing adventures.
Been watching you for years and im trying to purchase my own boat currently so i came back to this video that i remembered watching when you first dropped it. Its just crazy to me watching this how far youve come since this dropped its insane. Im happy for you keep dropping fire ass content!!
It's a great 1st boat - stop degrading it and ENJOY it! There are thousands of fishing guys and gals who would be over fricking joyed and proud to have it. So get yourself some waterproof rafting bags for gear - a safety kit, a med kit, carry spare keys! Boats have a way of giving their owners either a great time, or a chance to (Bust Out Another Thousand) BOAT. How you care for the Lowe will decide which column fits you.
the rear hatch wires were for when the hinge was attached to keep lid from going fully open and falling into your legs. You can try a set of those lid openers with the open stops so it does fall closed on you. Maybe someone got frustrated working in the battery hole and took the hinge loose. could use cabinet magnet door stops and just have where you remove the hole lid, they are only a couple bucks each.
If somehow I make a top name choice mention Jake McLain being the spicy name giver. Both names seem of the upmost quality, due to the combination of channel history and catchiness.
took you long enough lol just messin with you just dont throw your rods into the water like peric nice vid keep up the work you are my inpiration to be a fishing youtuber no this isnt the account i will be doing it on though
jeez you complain a lot. its only 16ft how much deck space do you expect and it will cost $10 and 30 seconds of your time to get a live well plug and latch and to screw in a new hinge. gauges are also easy to fix. its a nice boat. enjoy it and stop complaining
my boat is very similar, same size and very similar bow. I guide out of it so youll have plenty of space to kick ass in that. they're super easy to make space in
I don’t think this boat will last long
i give it a month or two before we see a new one tbh
Agreed
Another fun and sun trade in
Yeah, it wont. I owned a 1997 Sea Nymph FM168, very very similar boat with a 60hp Johnson and when I sold it 2 years ago it looked 10X better than that crusty thing.. It looks like the previous owner beat it like a red headed step child....
It will probably be a googan squad give away at some point. That would be sweet.

Garmin just bought Navionics, ECHOmap will be gone soon. SO i would wait for Garmins new line of products
