Having had the pleasure of reviewing the Lowe Boats 2022 Lowe Boat Fish and Ski Series Fish and Ski 1700, a prominent addition to the Aluminum Fish category, I must confess, I am thoroughly impressed. This elegant yet robust vessel is not just a boat but a testament to Lowe Boats' commitment to quality and functionality.
Fishing and boating enthusiasts would appreciate the plethora of features on offer. One of the most notable additions is the flip-up stainless steel mooring cleats, which makes mooring a breeze. The boat also includes a switch panel with tip-lit toggle switches, ensuring easy navigation, even in less than ideal lighting conditions.
The 1700 Fish and Ski series also boasts a dual black console with sleek, full walk-thru windshield and black soft grip wheel, offering commendable functionality and control while adding a dash of aesthetic appeal. The convenience of six cup holders, rear deck jump seats with under-seat storage and bow seat back cushions assures comfortable trips out on the water.
The boat is also equipped with an aft aerated livewell with a 24-gallon capacity - a clear nod to the needs of keen anglers. Further enhancing its fishing suitability are the locking center rod locker with tubes and multiple pedestal seat bases, providing flexible and comfortable seating options when you cast your line.
In addition to these excellent features, the Lowe Boat Fish and Ski Series Fish and Ski 1700 also respects the importance of entertainment on the water. Enjoy your favorite tracks with the boat's state-of-the-art Jensen MS30A stereo system, ready for AM/FM tuner, Bluetooth-compatible, and featuring a waterproof LCD display.
From a construction perspective, the all-welded structure of Lowe Boats’ Fish and Ski 1700 guarantees lasting performance and durability. The pressure-treated plywood floor entails a lifetime limited warranty, while a full-length heavy-duty extruded keel delivers excellent stability. In terms of specifications, the boat can comfortably accommodate up to six people, has a max HP of 115, and approximately 24 inches of maximum cockpit depth.
All in all, the Lowe Boats 2022 Lowe Boat Fish and Ski Series Fish and Ski 1700 is a boat that dons many hats, proving its merit as a family-friendly leisure vessel and a capable and organized fishing machine. Engineered to balance performance and comfort, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile boat without compromising functionality or style.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
