Lowe 22 Bay Boats For Sale

The Lowe 22 Bay is an all-welded aluminum bay boat introduced for 2022 as the largest of Lowe's three-model Bay series, which also includes 18- and 20-foot versions. Built on a mod-V hull with a high-performance aluminum pad, it carries the premium, fiberglass-like appearance of an inshore flats boat while keeping aluminum's durability and lighter weight. Lowe builds it for shallow inshore fisheries along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, popular with anglers in Florida, Louisiana and Alabama chasing tarpon, redfish and similar species, though its low draft also suits freshwater bass anglers who want to reach tight backwaters.

Performance comes from a transom rated for up to 200 horsepower on the 22-foot model. With a 200 mounted, the Lowe 22 Bay runs about 55 mph. The pad in the aft hull rides up on plane for better top-end, and an optional factory-mounted jack plate helps the boat plane out faster and lifts the prop into shallower water. Stability and a usable rough-water ride were points anglers noted while running it offshore of jetties and inlets.

The center console walk-around layout opens to a large cockpit that drains through a self-bailing floor, so standing water rolls out the back during a downpour or a long fishing day. The console mounts rod holders on both sides, leaves room for a flush-mount graph, and includes a glove box for personal items. A MotorGuide trolling motor and a Lowrance Hook Reveal fish finder are fitted as standard equipment, and buyers can spec the boat with a range of paint, seating and fishing options. The decks on the 20- and 22-foot models are built to accept a T-top.

Storage and bait management are central to the design. The deluxe leaning post adds a bait well and rocket launchers for rods, and it sits forward of the rear deck to leave open casting room behind it plus space for a 60-quart cooler. A second large aerated live well doubles as a padded passenger seat against the console, and the front center console seat opens to reveal storage and another bait well. A 60-gallon insulated cooler is recessed into the front floor so it won't slide around, and it works as a step up onto the bow deck. Aft jump seats flip up to serve as a fishing platform with storage beneath, and the gasketed deck compartments keep tackle dry while draining any water to the bilge.

Lowe has built aluminum fishing boats in Lebanon, Missouri since 1971 and operates under Brunswick, with a dealer network of more than 200 across the U.S. and Canada, including roughly ten in Florida. That backyard service coverage matters for warranty support when shopping a Lowe 22 Bay boat for sale. Construction is one-piece flooring over a seamless welded hull, with premium upholstery and appointments that go beyond a typical aluminum boat. For anyone weighing a Lowe 22 Bay boat review against rival inshore rigs, the combination of a self-bailing cockpit, 200-hp capacity, shallow draft and the built-in 60-gallon cooler defines what the platform offers.
