    yep check out the overhead view of the 195, i wanted the bigger livewells with minnow buckets and the 3 pedestal across the bow. Plus if i remember correctly the 195 give u a bit more sq ft on the deck.

    awesome, cant wait to see pictures and get your thoughts on it. Its in my top 3 selections. The lowe seems to have alot to offer

    My success in life is measured by the number of
    hunting and fishing stories that my kids can share with others

    Not a direct answer to your question but I will add that I have a 2006 lowe 180 stinger with a 115 optimax and love it. It has 3 peds on front deck, front a rear livewells and huge front deck that is very stable. It handles rough water very well and with the 115 runs about 45-48mph top end and goes a long time on a tank of gas. I crappie fish 99 out of 100 trips to the lake and have fished from it many times and don't know what I would change for crappie fishing set up.

    Good luck

    Hook It if you dont mind me asking what does a boat like that go for. I like the way they look,a very nice boat for sure. You dont have to tell me if you dont want to.

    Thanks Wilbur

    I have a 2004 180W w/90hp Johnson. It's a great boat to crappie fish out of and rides well for a alum boat. Will run 45 to 48 mph.
