bow slayer Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 There is a boat package for 8 grand on the classified board. 17ft Lowe with a 75 E-Tech. I would really like to put that motor on my boat. Here is the deal If someone is willing to spend 5 grand I will put up the 3 grand . I then will swap you motors, you keep the boat and a 2001 40hp Evinrude 4-stroke. I get the 75 e-tech. Or if someone wants to buy that boat for the price asked I will swap you motors plus 3000.

fishinggeek Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 (edited) Interesting proposal, and I'm looking for a boat myself. The Lowe Stinger, according to my Lowe catalogue, is 17.5 feet long, 85 inches wide, hull weight of 1110 pounds, with a max hp rating of 75. Do you think the 40HP 4-stroke has enough power to make it plane with 2-4 adults in it? Edited July 29, 2008 by fishinggeek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 my guess would be 2 adults yes, 4 adults no...but that's just a guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianboy Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 bowslayer you are a smart man you end up only really paying like say the 40hp is worth 2000 then 5000 for a 8000 dollar motor i think that the lowe stinger would plane with 4 light weight adults Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinggeek Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 my guess would be 2 adults yes, 4 adults no...but that's just a guess Thanks for the guess. Sounds right to me. NO That boat is set just perfect, the way it is set up. Thanks. I would've guessed the same thing. I'm out for this deal. Nothing more annoying than an under-powered boat with several adults and rough waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 If you're interested in this boat I think it is a OFC member CRANKS BAIT that is trying to sell it, or he has a similar one for sale in the classifieds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
