Lowe Skorpion Bass Boats For Sale

The Lowe Scorpion is an all-aluminum bass boat built around ruggedness, dependability and affordability, sold in 16-foot and 17-foot lengths and aimed at anglers who want an entry-level bass or crappie rig. On the 17 Scorpion, the hull and decks are aluminum with no wood anywhere in the construction, and a variable deadrise hull is built to smooth the ride and keep the boat stable at rest for casting. These Lowe aluminum bass boats are positioned as a practical choice for fishing rivers and lakes, and some model years ship in a bare aluminum finish with a decal package rather than paint, which lowers the price and means owners worry less about scratches.

Power on the Lowe Scorpion bass boats comes from Mercury outboards. The 17 Scorpion is offered from 25 to 60 horsepower, with the 60-horsepower being the most popular option; units have shipped with a 50-horsepower ELPT and with a 40-horsepower four-stroke depending on the build. The 16 Scorpion has been rigged with a 30-horsepower Mercury four-stroke, while the 16-foot stick-steer version carries a 50-horsepower motor. Buyers evaluating a used Lowe bass boat should confirm the engine, since the lower unit and prop setup vary by package; in some cases the prop ships uninstalled along with the starting and trolling motor batteries.

Fishing layout is the strong point of these Lowe bass fishing boats. The 17 Scorpion has a 17-gallon forward live well with a bait well and bucket, massive in-floor storage for life jackets and gear, an insulated area for coolers and Plano boxes, and a port-side rod locker that is lockable, weather-resistant and holds five 8-foot rods. The aft deck carries a pedestal seat base for fishing the stern, plus a second live well as part of the crappie package. Lowe quotes roughly 10% more fishability space at the bow and 70% more aft-deck area than competitors in its class. A 45-pound, 45-inch trolling motor comes standard, and the bow includes two cup holders built into the floor and a dry storage step on crappie-package boats.

At the console, the gauge package covers speed, tachometer and trim, with a large flush-mount area for electronics, a phone holder, and standard 12-volt and USB outlets. Boats have been fitted with Lowrance Hook fish finders and MotorGuide trolling motor packages. The Lowe bass boat seats are pedestal-style and removable, folding down for travel and storage; the 17 Scorpion comes standard with one pedestal seat base on the centerline, while the crappie package adds three bases up front for spider rigging without crowding a second angler. The cockpit comfortably seats two, with storage beneath both seats.

The 16 Scorpion is the more compact option, rated for a maximum of three persons but most comfortable for two. It carries a 6.6-gallon fuel tank as standard in the rear compartment, which also has room for two batteries and a small reserve gas can. Storage is generous for the size: one in-floor compartment runs about 55 inches long, 12 inches wide and 12 inches deep, the aerated live well measures roughly 43 inches long and 10 inches deep, and a forward compartment opens to about 26 by 23 inches with a mount for a bow light. The windshield is removable, four rod holders recess into the gunwales, and the boat rides on a single-axle Lowe trailer with a two-inch ball mount and tie-down straps. A stick-steer 16 Scorpion is also built, with the live well moved to the side and a rod box opposite to free up the center floor, plus an onboard battery charger.

If you are shopping Lowe Scorpion bass boats for sale, supply has been tight in recent model years, so available new and used Lowe bass boats can move quickly.
