This is just a quick review/layout of the new boat I got and will be using for future videos. It is a 2001 lowe 170, with a 2005 Johnson 20 on the back. So far ir runs like a champ and can't wait to use it more.
I bought a 2000 Lowe 170 with a 70hp Johnson in 2011 from a friend. It had the Evinrude branded Minn Kota TM like yours, until I upgraded it to a 24v Maxxum (cheap from another friend upgrading to 36v.) It served me very well, lots of fun. Started developing some leaks in 2020 and donated it to Wounded Warrior affiliate to work with. 'Hope yours is still running well.
Love this video. I just bought 14 ft Lowe side console with a 25 horse Johnson and this proves that I don't need a bigger engine hahaha! Looks like that 20 horse was pushing that 17-ft boat just fine
Yeah, unfortunately that's a majority of the lakes around my house. They max out at 20hp but it does push the boat. With two people and all of our gear we still get 18-20 mph
