    1985 Lowe 1648 with flotation pods and aluminum decking

    I believe it originally was a 17" and is now a 20". I also think the base of the pods is 20". I'm going off of memory, though...

    1985 Lowe 1648 with flotation pods and aluminum decking

    https://s1083.photobucket.com/user/Orion_134/library/Boat?sort=3&page=1 The previews are low quality (for some reason), but click them and they get better. Time to sell the hull, I'm tired of it. It leaks in a couple spots. All can be fixed rather easily/cheaply, I just don't have the time to...

    2004 Mercury 25 hp 4-stroke Bigfoot w/center console

    https://s1083.photobucket.com/user/Orion_134/library/Boat?sort=3&page=1 The previews are low quality (for some reason), but click them and they get better. Time to part out my boat. I'm selling my motor with center console and remote throttle/controls. It runs great, starts every time...

    Where did my ads go?

    Price check on Merc

    I have a Lowe 1648 that I'm thinking about selling with an 04 Merc 25hp 4-stroke Big Foot with center console. I know the bulk value of the boat will be in the motor, so I'm trying to get a good number on what the motor is worth. Starts first try and has never left me stranded. Any ideas...

    Time to redo the transom and add some flotation pods PICS!!!

    Pics are updated in link two replies up. Painted the surfaces with Rustoleum topside primer, then paint, then paint with the grit, then 3-4 more layers to keep the grit down. So far, so good.

    Comparing speed in 1648 with Merc 25

    So after all of my work on the boat, I still get 22-23 mph. I'm going to borrow a tach from someone to see what the motor is turning. This is a 4-stroke center console with 2 people, 2 batts, TM, 2 coolers, 5 gals of gas.

    Time to redo the transom and add some flotation pods PICS!!!

    So far so good! Not playing with height I got the top speed to be 22-23 with two people, two batts, TM, two coolers, and that heavy 4-stroke. Tilt up the motor and it will easily draft about 8" with said equipment. I'm still experimenting to see how shallow it will draft on a plane, but not...

    Comparing speed in 1648 with Merc 25

    Sorry, that is apples to oranges. Your boat is lighter, your engine is lighter and more powerful. Thanks, though.
