HIGHS

• Easy to tow and store


• Smooth ride in chop


• Good console set-up

LOWS

• Low motor well at transom


• Finishes could be refined
  Trim tabs as standard would be good

ABOVEDon’t be
fooled by the small
sounding size of the
175—itcouldfish
four-up easily

TOP RIGHTThe
console is a decent
size and with the
offset helm, should
provide good
protection with
optional clears

LEFT TOP DOWN
The transom is a
highlight, offering
masses of storage but

letdown; The bow day
bed doubles as a
great casting platform
