Lowe 1667

[jitterbug127]

Guy I know has an awesome Lowe 1667 he’s looking to sell. I’m really considering buying it. Has anyone fished out of one? How comfortable is it? How does it fish? I fish a river and mostly shallow water, so I’m not entirely sure how well a v hull would do in shallow water either. I know this boat would be much more comfortable than my Jon boat on lakes. All welded hull and 30 years newer than my current boat. Lots to like.

Well, its a pretty basic utility boat.
So is it comfortable?
Comfort is relative. How long are your legs? How boney is your butt?
It there a cushioned seat attached to the bench?

How shallow is your river? Boat should be fine in anything deeper than 2 feet of water.

Should be an easy boat to sell if it turns out you don't like it.

Well, I'm short with a boney butt, so there is that!

By comfortable I mean how well does it ride? How stable is it?. How good or bad is it to fish out of? How hard is the boat to get in and out of? Its pretty shallow where I fish. 2 foot would be deep for some parts of my river. I'd say V hull isn't the way for me to go then.

Bought the LOWE to try out. Got it cheap enough if i hate it ill sell and buy another.

Not familiar with a 1667 but if an open boat with cross seats there are many seats avaiable to make you outing comfortable that bolt right up to the cross seat. On the V hull vs the John hull, John hull is fine on rivers. Other than that you want the V for a softer ride....BTDT

Boat is really nice! in like new shape. It does have rivets, and all welded seems. It seems like it will be a nice boat for the lakes and out on big water. I'm not sure how great it will be on the river, but its worth a shot. I bought it cheap enough.
