2019 Lowe Roughneck 1860CC 

Thank you! Glad I was able to help

Thanks man! The bottom is pretty tough so it’s hard to go wrong.

I have one for sale, set up even nicer on FB August 26,2021

No problem at all I hope it was helpful! If you have any questions about them I’ll answer anything I can. Overall it’s a really nice boat especially for the money.

Absolutely, I hope it was helpful!

Thank you! I appreciate your feedback.

Thank you! It has been a lot of fun so far!

Thank you! It has been a very worthwhile purchase.

It was actually this product I'm linking below. It was just something I happened upon on amazon one day. It applied really easily and I never used a heathen or anything. It has a hex pattern in it also which I liked personally but there is no purpose for it that I'm aware of. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RN23TYV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

M P mine clears a 7 foot garage door by about 3 inches. The fishing seats I have are actually closer to hitting than the hand bar so as long as you have standard 7 foot door or bigger you are clear!

Willem van der Bleek The no weld choice was primarily because I wasn’t sure if I would be adding flotation pods to the back I noticed that was one advantage the Tracker had over the Lowe when I was looking. I have given thoughts to adding them from time to time but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. As far as the Terrova goes yes absolutely it will fit I have a Powerdrive on mine and to my knowledge they have the same base size. I do have mine mounted on a Minn Kota quick release because it gets in the way of my blind I have for duck hunting but if you are just fishing with it then it’s perfect!

@@evanmattingly7234I've ordered the boat with the sponson pods already- we'll see how it mounts. What lakes do you normally fish? We're pretty geographically close.

Willem van der Bleek rough river lake is my personal favorite. Cumberland is nice also but I don’t get down there as often as I’d like.

I've had mine out on some windy days and I haven't had any issues to speak of granted I'm mostly on lakes in Kentucky so there are very few spots around here where water can get rough enough to be a problem if that is helpful. I defiantly think the larger horsepower would be nice and the jet will be a benefit in the rivers also.

Thank you! Thats exactly what I wanted for about 4 years and I finally came across the right deal to make it happen. It was a lot of fun customizing it and adding the little features since I always have to have a project to keep me busy.

I am sure that it can, that is a good motor for this model in my opinion so I would defiantly reach out to some dealers and see what they say. I think Mercury is pretty backed up right now like everyone else so that might work to your advantage by freeing up another motor at the dealership to be used as needed for another boat.

Thank you! Norris Lake isn't too far south into Tennessee and I've had some great success there.

I went to nolin river yesterday and last Saturday. White bass are running caught some walley as well and some regular bass

@@RP-xk8ji Walleye for some reason just never hit on anything I have out. I've never really put much effort into learning the proper way to catch them but I think ill have to try before long.

@@evanmattingly7234 white/silver crank bait is what I caught them with. I actually saw them feeding on baitfish they were jumping out of the water. I trolled over to them and start tossing in the crank bait. Next thing you know they were going for it.

Cornbread Fed Thank you! I’ll give that a try whenever I get some time to get back out on the water!

I build a blind for mine, it works out really well actually, it gives me enough room to move around and even with all of my stuff onboard there is plenty of room for two people.

I think I'll try to get a video up of the installation and removal of my blind this year, it's pretty easy to put on and takedown. I do leave the grab bar and windshield on it isn't really in the way at all so it works out well.

I get 20' 8" from the tip of the prop to the front of forward most point on the trailer. Tight lines indeed!

jrgainey definitely room for two on the lean post but it can get a little tight squeezing on the sides of the console when you have fishing rods in the holders. There is a grab bar that frames the windshield and that is very helpful. It’s really not too bad but if you are in a hurry or not paying attention you can lose your balance.

I haven't had an issue with that yet but someone has asked me that same question at a gas station while I was willing up one day so you aren't alone in that issue.

The shallowest I’ve gone is actually at the lake closest to me. The first 600 yards from the ramp is Probably 3 feet deep total the transducers are on the bottom of the back and I get a reading of less than two feet. Needless to say I take it slow but I’ve never had a problem. Those pods will be a great benefit for stability also I have given some thought to buying a pair and having a marine ship weld them on but I’m still thinking on it.

@@evanmattingly7234 Awesome. Ill let you know how I like them and do a review myself. My favorite lake/marsh can get super shallow about a foot so just curious. Thanks for the reply!

Zack Tachick Absolutely! Just out of curiosity are you going to try anything as far as power poles or Minn Kota Talons? We don’t have an abundance of shallow water around here but I’ve been told those are better than the i-Pilot trolling motors for regular use in shallows.

@@evanmattingly7234 I was actually looking into those due to the fact that I havent seen any on a Jon or roughneck boat before. I am getting a normal pedal troller due to bow fishing but talons would be a great addition for here in WI. There are plenty of deep lakes but some of the best are shallow.

I would probably go with the 60 if it were me. I believe on my 55" I had about 5 inches left over on the top that I used the choke to hold up but it was pretty close. I think 45 would be a bit short.

It isn’t optional from Lowe but I have looked into a couple options as far as aftermarket T-tops are concerned. They do make them “universally” but everything I have been able to find would require so much modification to fit that it really would make more sense to build one yourself if you have the capability to do so or just have one custom built.

@@evanmattingly7234 I saw a war eagle boat with one on it

I couldn’t be happier with it, to be honest. I don’t have the jet on mine, only the regular 60hp. From a lot of the other comments and conversations I’ve had about it, the jet seems a solid choice. I’ve had a Yamaha outboard previously on an older boat and always had a positive experience, but it’s pretty hard to beat Mercury.

@@evanmattingly7234 thanks for the reply man I certainly appreciate it. I saw you have the prop outboard on yours I just got excited and messaged you before I saw it in the vid lol. I do a lot of striped bass fishing and smallmouth fishing in the Delaware river north of Trenton NJ so I need to run through the shallows and rapids. I’ve seen guys for years run right up the middle of the rapids and wing dams with this style boat. Now I’m at the point in my life where I can buy one and I appreciate the info you provided. Thanks again and good luck 🍀 fishing man !!!

I have a standard 7' garage door and it clears no problem, you should have at least three or four inches between the top of the grab bar and your garage door frame. Just be careful if you have a manual garage door to make sure the door is actually up all of the way, not a likely problem but its something I have run into (no pun intended) with other things in the past.

The ones on the outer side wall come standard but the ones next to the seat in the center console I added.

@@evanmattingly7234 I really appreciate the video, I have been looking for someone to explain and tour the boats from a consumer perspective for some time now. I have a 2009 1655 with the 75 etec, and have trying to come up with storage ideas, so this was very helpful.

Aaron Wood Not a problem! I looked off and on for a couple years before I got the 1860cc and I could two or three halfway decent sales videos but they electric just that, sales videos. One more thing you might consider that I think I’m going to look into on mine when it comes to storage is keeping things like life jackets in plastic milk crates in the rear of the boat down by the fuel tank. I fee like that would be a good way of getting them out of the way and out of your primary storage compartments without bringing more weight to the back.

@@evanmattingly7234 Thats a good idea. Thanks!

I did not install the Mercury motor, it was done at the dealership so I couldn't honestly speak to that. I can say that 19 gallons will run the motor for at least 30 hours pretty much wide open. It's been great but that being the case I don't typically keep the tank full personally just because I don't want gas sitting in the tank any longer than I have to.

Bruce Stevenson check out Water Works Marine in Country Club Hills, IL they had by several thousand dollars the best price! I don’t have any interest in them at all they just treated me really well! If you are thinking of getting one let me know if you have any questions I’d be happy to answer any I can!

Yeah bro, I have the Lund Predator 20cc (same boat, same company, different brand on the side, made in the same factory. I even have some parts on mine that say Lowe). These trailers are the BIGGEST pieces of sh!t ever! I broke my load guides first time I took it out and a friend of mine broke his too 1st time out. Plastic wheel wells, light weight and bolted together EVERYTHING. 😂 I've got it down pretty good now, but I put 2 sets of upgraded load guides on mine. My biggest complaint is definitely the trailer. I'm about to do a 1 year review & I've got a couple other videos on here of it. These trailers are a complete joke. For the money, you'd think they could at least put it on something worth more than a Harbor Freight diy trailer. Lol.

I added bunk guides to trailer . Better but still difficult getting boat on straight. I’ve resorted to putting hip boots on and doing it by hand

There are at least 10 Lowe dealers within two hours of my house, that said, I don't know whether the markup is significantly more around me or if mine specifically had just been sitting on the dealer's lot for a while but I saved several thousand dollars on my total cost even factoring in the expense of the trip by driving to get it. Money was my first priority when I was shopping around because I do my own maintenance but the decision to drive up there was also helped by the incredibly rude individuals that I dealt with at a couple of the dealers around me.

I actually had a lot of luck putting mine up on the very front in the V. The rope anchors work well TJ strap it down and the weight helps it plane out well also.

Im at 20' 2" with the tongue on the trailer folded in including the motor on the back.

@@evanmattingly7234 thanks man

It does, The rod holders that work with the track are excessively expensive in my opinion. I made a couple work really well with some carriage bolts and wing nuts from Lowes.

Thank you! It is a lot of fun.

Thank you! It has given me a lot of enjoyment!

I believe it’s 24”

I bet that's the fastest jon boat that anyone can buy! Enjoy that!

whats the speed with that jet drive?

Originally I think I got it new in the ballpark of $15,000 which I felt was a great deal at the time, it was one of those last year's model deals. The base price has increased pretty significantly over the last couple of years.

I had not considered this at the time I installed the motor but I recently put a small one on the tongue-mounted toolbox of a trailer I use a lot to keep up the battery for the winch. Overall I have been very well satisfied with it so I think I am going to get the same model and give it a shot. Thank you for the advice!
