I am ready to buy a new Lowe Fm165 WT. My only concern is what motor to get. I've been quoted $3500 Canadian additional to go from the 60 hp to the 90 hp 4stroke merc. Wll the 60 be too slow with three adults? Does the upgrade cost seem reasonable?

Re: Advice New FM165

I've got a 2012 FM165 SC. I think if I could do it over and had the money, I would go for the upgrade. It's great with 3 adults once up an moving, but the 90 would definitely get her out of the hole much faster. Is it worth the $3500? ... I guess you'd have to ask yourself if that money could be better spent on other upgrades like a nicer trolling motor or electronics. At the time of purchase, I decided to put the money into a custom cover, some new fishing gear, etc. If you've got the $$$, I'd say go for the upgrade.
