The 2003 stinger 170w i have has a 90hp, i do believe its a 115 for max? What did they do different to lower the max hp?

[@miket3530]

I have a 2017 Lowe Stinger 175 with a 2017 75hp 4 st mercury. Any suggestions what peg (hight) the motor should be mounted on and prop. Thanks.

Hi Mike - we suggest going directly to Lowe with this question, as they will have tested different outboards and props at different heights. They have an email contact form on their site, or you can call 800-641-4372.

How will this boat handle light saltwater fishing. Say near kelp beds in CA?

[@boatsdotcom]

Adman101010 The Stinger should have no problems; we didn't note any hardware or fittings that fall short of light saltwater use. Just give it (and the engine, of course) a thorough washdown and flush with freshwater afterwards, and the boat should handle it just fine.

[@Beenhereawhile1001]

Thank you for the response. I was also wondering about the hull design with moderate waves or swells on the ocean. Thanks again!

Yes but they're arc welded. TIG. Maybe a slip o the tounge on Mr Engineers part.

[@kevinrosewicz9623]

The trailer bunks and side rails were pine wood not treated lumber. They rotted in 5 years.

[@chipchap2625]

"Welded on the inside with MIG welds??? This guy is an engineer??

[@lovvornmark8526]

dick smack my brother has a two year old Lowe bass boat that the hull came apart on. Not bumps in it no scratches on it because he hit NOTHING. It was cheap welding or quality of material. After taking it to the Lowe factory he was told that it was driver error and their promised hull warranty would not replace it and to turn it into his insurance. He was fishing Lake Guntersville with two to three feet waves.( Very common ). Lowe states their foam filled boats are built for rough and choppy water. They also sale boats with a promise of a great warranty on the Hulls. I know many people say they love their Lowe boat but would love to hear the real reason the manufacturer won't stand behind their word and guarantee on this. It helped me decide not to buy a Lowe or any other Name boat that Lowe may sell.

[@guysparacello2763]

thants great info. i wont be buying one. its easy to say"driver error". seems like the would stand behind the product they sell.

[@Thamac15]

Guy Sparacello remember this great piece of advice,...there are always two sides to a story. You know absolutely nothing other than what someone is telling you. You have zero evidence to base a clear, accurate, and precise opinion of the boat. If you based a decision not to purchase this boat due to someone on the Internet without any evidence to substantiate then you need to self reflect for a bit.

[@funnyworkvideos8482]

i wish somebody help me have one of this boat for me and my son :(
