Lowe Stinger Bass Boats For Sale

The Lowe Stinger is a line of all-aluminum bass and multi-species fishing boats built in several sizes, including the Stinger 175C, 178, 188 and 195. These are wood-free, mod-V aluminum bass boats backed by Lowe's warranties, with the 175C marketed as a multi-species boat that handles bass, crappie and striper fishing. Owners who shop Lowe Stinger boats for sale tend to choose them for wide, stable decks, generous storage and the ability to fish two or three anglers off the bow at once, which makes them popular with guides and with anyone fishing with kids or friends.

Deck space is the defining feature across the range. The Stinger 178 carries a 96-inch beam, roughly eight feet, that runs far forward to create an expansive bow casting platform, while the 195 and 188 are wide and stable enough to fish two or three people up front. Storage is extensive: the 188 holds up to about 24 rods in compartments that double as tackle organizers, with LED lighting in the center rod locker for early-morning or night fishing. The 175C has a port-side rod locker sized for seven-foot rods with a removable six-rod organizer, plus a starboard tackle locker and a general bow compartment for life jackets and safety gear. Most models include a step box at the helm for quick-access items like sunglasses, pliers and a scale, and the 178 offers lockable bow compartments and a recessed trolling-motor foot-pedal tray.

Livewells and rigging back up the tournament focus. The 175C runs dual livewells, a 23-gallon bow well whose door opens inboard so seated anglers can reach it without standing, plus a stern well with a bait-bucket spot and dual dividers for keeping each angler's catch separate. The 178 holds 31 gallons of fuel along the deck and includes a welded transducer bracket for high-speed sonar readings, a fold-out rope ladder and a trailer with brakes. Battery and wiring access sits at the stern on the 188, where the bilge pump, harnesses and batteries are easy to reach.

Helm and electronics reflect Lowe's move to a more finished aluminum bass boat. The 178 and 175C use a premium fiberglass console with gauges positioned out front for visibility rather than behind the wheel, space for a nine-inch flush-mount graph, a standard Quick Charge 3.0 and USB-C port, and the available Kicker audio system. The 188's fiberglass console is color-matched to the hull and accepts a flush-mounted nine-inch fish finder. Lowe bass boat seats come in standard foam or an upgraded premium captain-style version with contoured ergonomic foam, in a three-across layout where the middle seat has a step for reaching the stern deck, with storage underneath the seats.

Power and performance vary by model. The 178 and 188 are commonly rigged with the Mercury Pro XS 115; on the 178 with a 22-pitch Tempest Plus prop and a six-inch jack plate, that setup reached 51 mph, and its pad hull adds extra top-end speed. The 175C typically comes with a 60-horsepower outboard and is rated to a maximum of 75 horsepower; with the 75, owners report roughly 36-37 mph running light and 40-41 mph in some cases, dropping to around 32-33 mph fully loaded with two anglers, gear and bow-mounted electronics. The 175C's hull tends to plow water and ride wet, and many owners add trim tabs or raise the motor to improve trim and top end. The 178 has a 24-volt trolling-motor option and a 12-volt standard option, and its manual, non-hydraulic steering is one trade-off to weigh. For buyers considering a new or used Lowe aluminum bass boat, the build quality and stability draw consistent praise, with deck width and storage cited as the main reasons owners choose the Stinger.
