4. LOWE ROUGHNECK R1655N
The Roughneck is another no-frills, heavy-duty boat that makes a perfect vessel for the river fisherman. The boat is an all-welded heavy-gauge hard metal, ribbed, reinforced (10 ribs) boat with no carpeting. The 15-foot, 10-inch length, 75-inch beam with a 55-inch bottom width and 22.5-inch depth makes it an ideal shallow-water river and marsh craft. The Roughneck can be ordered in flat green metallic platinum or Mossy Oak shadow grass or Mossy Oak Break up, which the sportsman can use to set the boat up for fishing or waterfowl hunting.

The boat is rated for 80 horsepower maximum with a six-person, 1,352-pound weight limit. Its modified V hull gives it good speed and stability, while its 3-inch tunnel hull is set up for jet-drive propulsion.

The standard package comes with two pedestal seat bases and full aluminum floor liner. Optional equipment includes: saddle tanks to enhance weight distribution, side console and gear storage lockers.
