Lowe 20 Bay Boats For Sale

The Lowe 20 bay boat is an all-welded aluminum center console built for shallow-water and inshore fishing, available across model years including 2017, 2018 and 2021. Its hull is a fast mod-V pad design, and most examples are rigged as T-top boats with a 30-gallon live well and a customizable leaning post. The eight-person carrying capacity, six rod holders set three to a side and raised fishing decks fore and aft make it a working fishing platform rather than a casual day boat, suited to anglers who want aluminum durability with center console layout.

Power comes from a transom-mounted Mercury outboard, most often a 115-horsepower Pro XS four-stroke with power trim, which pushes the boat to 43 miles per hour. Other boats carry a 150-horsepower four-stroke Mercury paired with SeaStar assisted hydraulic steering, and one example with that setup reached 30 miles per hour while getting onto plane. The 30-gallon fuel tank sets the cruising range for a day on the water. Several boats run a stainless steel propeller.

The helm centers on a Garmin or Lowrance display, with units ranging from a compact Garmin GPSMAP 541s to a 10-inch Garmin Echomap Ultra and Lowrance Elite 7 FS and Elite 9 FS combos. Analog gauges typically cover speedometer, tachometer, fuel and trim, with lighted horn switches, navigation and anchor lights, courtesy lights, a bilge pump, a dash compass and a 12-volt power outlet. A driver's swivel seat with footrests sits behind a removable windshield with grab rails, and storage tucks under the console.

The bow carries a raised fishing deck with three storage compartments, a beverage holder, a trolling motor plug, a trim switch and a 12-volt outlet, plus a forward-facing bench seat with a bait well underneath. Bow trolling motors include a Minn Kota or MotorGuide drawing 70 to 81 pounds of thrust at 24 volts, several with i-Pilot or Spot-Lock GPS positioning. The raised stern deck holds two jump seats with under storage, a large central live well, a fish ruler and dedicated battery and fuel storage. Twin rod lockers run down the bow, the boat carries four mooring cleats two per side, and a four-step boarding ladder serves the transom. Minn Kota Raptor shallow-water anchors are a common stern addition.

Build quality follows from the welded all-aluminum hull, and most boats ship on a trailer: a Caravan tandem axle bunk trailer with swivel jack, swing tongue, spare tire mount and 13-inch wheels with side guides, or a single-axle aluminum trailer with custom wheels and a foldaway tongue that saves roughly two and a half to three feet of storage space. When shopping a Lowe 20 bay boat for sale, weigh storage against fiberglass competitors, since the center console occupies a fair amount of the cockpit and there is no built-in side storage aft. Battery setups vary, with owners running lead-acid or upgrading to lithium and 24- or 36-volt trolling systems, so check the electrical rigging and engine hours, which on lower-use examples can be as little as 175.
