Lowe Roughneck 1860 Boats For Sale

The Lowe Roughneck 1860 is an 18-foot all-welded, all-aluminum jon boat built for anglers, waterfowl hunters, and light work duty. Every Roughneck hull uses full-length pressed-in running strakes for a hard, stiff running surface, with a semi-V at the bow that flattens toward the stern for running skinny water. The 1860 comes in several setups — side console, center console, tiller, and the Rambler trim — with a 60-inch bottom and the open cockpit that defines the line. It is rough-lined throughout, a non-skid finish that doubles as paint protection, which is part of why people searching Lowe Roughneck boats for sale tend to land on this model when they want aluminum capability without a fiberglass bass boat price.

Power comes from Mercury four-stroke outboards, with the 1860 offered in 40, 60, 75, and 90 horsepower pairings depending on configuration, plus a 40 jet option. The 60-horsepower Mercury, the middle choice on the center console, runs roughly 30 mph wide open and handles a single 19-gallon fuel tank. Jet setups change the numbers: a 90/65 jet (90 horse at the power head, 65 at the jet) tops out around 29 mph, while stepping up to the largest rated 115/80 jet pushes top speed to about 35 mph with one person and gear. The jet's intake boot sits just below the transom, letting the boat run in about 3 inches of water once on plane. Choosing the jet requires the optional spray deflector and a keel modification that stops the keel a little over a foot short of the transom for clean water flow to the pump.

The side or center console carries the throttle, steering, and dash space sized for a graph, with owners commonly fitting Garmin or Humminbird units. Standard fishing equipment includes a 19-gallon live well with an aerator and a trolling motor harness running 8-gauge wire from the bow to the stern battery compartment. The bow deck has a standard pedestal seat location placed for water access, plus under-seat storage and factory rod rollers. A new optional helm seat for model year 2025 mounts on a hinge so it flips forward or removes entirely from the rail to open the back deck — useful context when comparing Lowe Roughneck boat seats and accessories.

For hunters, the placement of the console toward the stern leaves an open cockpit with room for decoys, dogs, and gear, and the console sits low enough to run a blind over it. The optional 72-inch gun box is weather-resistant, flush with the deck so it works as a port-side catwalk that extends the fishing surface. Optional sponson pods — standard on the Waterfowl editions — add stability, quicker planing, and shallower running, and for 2025 they feature a flat, rough-lined upper surface for boarding. Waterfowl editions pair with Bustom hard-shell boat blinds on a custom all-welded frame, with a dog door, aluminum dog ladder, push-up panels, and removable center platform. Camo options include Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Blades and the new Moke Bottomland pattern for 2025.

Most 1860s ship on a single-axle Caravan bunk trailer with a 2-inch coupler, breakaway folding tongue, swivel jack, LED lights, composite fenders with steps, and a spare tire — the folding tongue matters for tight garages, with some owners reporting only about two inches of clearance with it folded. A 2021 Lowe Roughneck 1860 18-foot aluminum jon boat on trailer makes a practical buy, and used Lowe Roughneck boats for sale often arrive already upfitted with sea decking, additional rod holders, and three-battery charging systems. When shopping Lowe Roughneck boats for sale near me, weigh the motor and jet choice against your water: the hull excels in rivers and modest chop but takes rough open-water rollers harder than a bigger boat, and a heavier trolling motor than the 80-pound, 24-volt class is worth considering for strong current.
