Lowe® History

We Make Great Family Memories.memories photo
Lowe was founded in 1971 to build high value aluminum boats and canoes to fit a family’s boating needs. Since then Lowe has created generations of family memories through great times on the water and has developed quite a reputation among experienced boaters for building high quality, yet affordable aluminum boats to suit almost any need. As the years have passed, second and third generations of families have returned to Lowe for more of these great times on the water.
