Default Lowe boats

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with a Lowe boat any pros and cons would be greatly appreciated.

My buddy has a Lowe FS175 w/115 Merc. The only issue he had was something with the motor last year.....still under warranty and had no issue getting it fixed. He has only owned it for 2 years now and its out on the water an awful lot and he swears by it. Hope this helps at least a little bit.

Default Lowe

I believe Lowe are. A Brunswick company They make pretty well
All the welded Jon boats and modified Vs. The hulls on their 165 ,175s are very similar to Lund Rebel line ...I see homestead are the dealers in Calgary probably your best bet.Cars get bad reviews on here .
For service. Definitely better choice than Legend ,Tracker ,Smokercraft.....

But Lowe still doesn't get the nod that Lund gets Inthe USA fishing community .

You want the 175 series for the width. 94" .....165" to narrow.

I think for my retirement job I should become a Professional
Boat Shopper/consultant....W101

I might be wrong but I think Lowe has a very short casting deck in the bow.

Way too much room behind the windshield. Makes for an imbalance when you are fishing more than 2.
