Full-Speed Ahead What an exciting year for us at Lowe! The past 12 months have ushered in a new era for the Lowe lineup, with the introduction of nearly a dozen new boats and an array of upgrades to our existing models. (Turn to pages 4 and 6 of this magazine for a sampling, then flip to the catalog section for the full lineup.) From the revamped FM and FS models, to the new 20 Catfish and 20 Bay, to the exquisite Infinity series of luxury pontoons, we’re pleased to provide our customers with more and better offerings than ever before. Our growth has not been haphazard. Rather, it’s the result of a series of organizational and manufacturing improvements, all undertaken with one goal: to help you get the most bang for your boating buck. For more than four decades, Lowe has been committed to providing boats that are an incredible value, designed for maximum versatility and ease, and crafted for lasting durability. But you don’t have to take my word on it. Lowe was honored again this year with two CSI Awards, the industry’s marker for customer satisfaction as voted on by boaters themselves. In a year of major growth and innovation, it’s gratifying to receive this validation of our efforts. Read on to meet a few customers who are out there enjoying their Lowe boats to the fullest. On page 8, follow John Quarles and Steve Shelton as they join the ranks of the Lowe Pro Staff through hard work and newfound fishing passion; then on page 12, witness Belinda and Billy Fleming using their Lowe SF 234 pontoon to make quality time with their kids and grandkids even sweeter.

When you spend your weekends on the water, you really start to take notice of the little things. From the comfort of your boat’s upholstery to having cup holders right where you need them, the extras can turn an outing into an unforgettable adventure. With this in mind, Lowe® undertook a mission to engineer the next generation of pontoons, building on the brand’s reputation for quality and versatility to elevate pontooning to a new level. The company’s talented team of engineers went back to the drawing board to explore what makes a Lowe pontoon unique and determine what would best enhance the boating experience. “When we began developing this series, we set forth a challenge to ourselves to really raise the bar,” said David Kirkland, Lowe vice president of commercial operations. “We wanted a line of pontoons that would represent everything our customers love about pontooning and Lowe, with an added degree of luxury and comfort, and an even greater array of premium features.”

The Lap of Luxury LOWE INTRODUCES INFINITY, THE PONTOON SERIES THAT TAKES COMFORT, CONVENIENCE AND STYLE TO THE NEXT LEVEL

And the results speak for themselves. New for model year 2015 comes Infinity, a series of pontoons that represents a whole new level of luxury for Lowe. Every detail is accounted for, from plush seating, stainless-steel hardware and LED lighting to superior Mercury® propulsion options. Infinity provides all the features pontoon enthusiasts could want—without sacrificing the unbeatable value and quality construction that have bolstered Lowe’s reputation for more than 40 years. Infinity is available in two sizes, both of them considerable—25 and 27 feet—and in two configurations, designed to cater to different needs and preferences. The 250 RFL and 270 RFL include rear-facing loungers that offer unobstructed views of the water, while the 250 CL and 270 CL feature a highly social conversation lounge. In each model, the whole crew can relax on plush upholstery with diamond-weave accents, which lend an extra boost of comfort and style. Combine that with a sleek fence design with beautiful color options, and you’re really enjoying your ride in style. “The seating was very important to us when we were designing the Infinity models,” David said. “Pontooning is truly an activity for family and friends, so we wanted to offer layouts that would foster easy conversation and socializing.”

And that’s not nearly all. At the sophisticated raised helm, an extra-wide captain’s chair with a foot platform and adjustable back- and armrests puts you at ease behind the wheel. Intuitive controls and a Lowrance® Elite-5 GPS/chartplotter provide comfort for captains of all experience levels so that you can confidently charter new territories. Even with so many stylish amenities, the Infinity series never compromises its functionality. Ample in-floor and under-seat storage allows for neat organization of all types watersports gear. When you’re ready to hit the water, the heavy-duty 4-step boarding ladder provides stability for all passengers. And the party never has to stop, thanks to a Plexiglas™ table with drink holders and a large Coleman® stainless-steel cooler. For David, Infinity is the culmination of the team’s tremendous efforts. “It’s absolutely unlike anything we’ve ever done before,” he said. “The Infinity is a superior craft, and we at Lowe can’t wait for our customers and their families to experience it for themselves.”

Customer satisfaction is a noble pursuit, but if you’re not offering what the customer wants, you may never get the chance to satisfy. For 2015, Lowe® set about crafting a fish boat for every stripe of angler, while also ramping up its current offerings to new levels of excellence. The result of this undertaking is nearly a dozen new models and countless enhancements to the already impressive lineup. There’s a reason Lowe leads the pack in Customer Satisfaction Index awards (26!): Now more than ever, what you want is what they’ve got.

Have it Your Way LOWE INTRODUCES NEW AND NEWLY ENHANCED MODELS ACROSS THE FISH BOATS LINEUP, SO EVERY ANGLER CAN FIND THE PERFECT FIT

For starters, the Lowe Mod-V lineup now includes the new Stinger 180, a formidable side-console bass boat that’s priced lower than the competition. But that doesn’t mean corners were cut: This right-sized model features a raised bow deck, huge livewell, comfortable bucketstyle seats, a trolling motor and much more. In other words, it’s a shining example of Lowe’s commitment to delivering unbeatable value. To that end, the popular 22 Bay has been joined by the new 20-foot Bay, a well-made and well-priced answer to growing bay boat demand. Designed for rugged versatility, the 20 Bay is a professional-grade center console model that gives anglers the flexibility to fish lakes, bays and beyond—without breaking the bank. If it’s catfish you seek, rely on the new 20 Catfish, a Mod-V champ with amenities to take on the biggest prey. The boat’s raised bow and aft casting platforms deliver loads of fish-fighting room, and an available catfish rod holder spans the transom to give you that extra edge. If the backwaters are your “happy place,” the new Roughneck Shallow Water Series will hold special appeal (see page 2 for details). Or consider the new Heavy Duty Roughnecks, with a thicker 0.125inch hull gauge that can take a beating and keep right on boating. And

for anglers who want superior performance with a no-frills attitude, the Lowe Utility-V lineup has also grown to offer additional sizes and configurations. For deep-water fishing action, the revamped Fishing Machine (FM) series rises to any challenge. New bow, cockpit and aft deck configurations mean easier maneuvering and maximized fish-fighting and storage space, while a streamlined hull profile will definitely draw approving stares. At the helm, you’ll see consoles now in matte black—a more aesthetically pleasing design with great durability. And new Gunnel-track accessories keep tools and drinks right at hand. The Fish & Ski (FS) models enjoyed similar enhancements for model year 2015 and now feature a ski pylon for easier towing. With a cutting-edge Mercury® outboard at the rear, every skier and wakeboarder in your crew will reap the performance benefits. A large in-floor storage compartment houses everyone’s watersports gear and converts for fishing with a drop-in rod holder. Richer

ALMOST OVERNIGHT, TWO FRIENDS GREW FROM “TOURNAMENT ROOKIES” TO NATIONALLY RANKED LOWE PRO STAFF CHAMPS, READY AND WILLING TO TAKE ON FIERCE COMPETITION Story by Amy Wideman Photos by Lance Ramsey, John Quarles & Steve Shelton For the past two years, fishing partners John Quarles and Steve Shelton have enjoyed huge success on the walleye circuit. The pair moved swiftly up the ranks from their local Colorado fisheries to qualify at regionals for a spot in the 2014 Cabela’s National Team Championship (NTC). And yet they had worked together for nearly seven years before it even occurred to them that fishing could be their fate. “Funny story,” John begins. “We were sitting in Steve’s office at work one day, where we’d been putting in long hours, pretty stressful. We looked at each other and said, ‘There must be more to life than this. We should buy a boat.’ And literally, we logged onto Craigslist right then and started searching for used boats.” Luckily for the work-worn friends, there happened to be a Lowe Fish & Ski 165 for sale in Pueblo, just a few hours from their respective homes in Colorado. It turned out to be exactly what they had in mind: a deep-V style fishing boat in good condition, at the right price. Its soon-to-be-former owner took them out for a run, and that clinched it: Their fish tale had officially begun.


lo.fa14.FM185_Denver_Layout 1 11/6/14 10:22 AM Page 9


lo.fa14.FM185_Denver_Layout 1 11/6/14 5:43 PM Page 10

With the boat aspect settled, they decided their next logical step was to join a fishing club. They credit the Colorado Walleye Association with building their confidence and sparking a love for tournament fishing almost immediately. “I have to say, anyone who wants to learn should join a club,” John says. “You go out fishing in groups, and go to dinners together where everyone talks about baits and how to rig things up. A lot of knowledge comes out of those dinners. In just a month or so, we were signed up for a whole series of tournaments.” In their spare time, they each supplemented the club members’ advice through research and watching “a LOT” of videos. (They cite Fishful Thinker host and angling mentor Chad LaChance as a particularly influential coach.) Their dedication paid off. Less than a year after purchasing their Lowe, they were competing—and winning. “It was quick!” Steve says. “The first tournament we competed in, we won prize money. We almost couldn’t believe it. We’re thinking, ‘We get paid for this? This is awesome!’ And of course we took that prize check straight to the sporting goods store that very same day—drove straight from the lake, boat and all—for more fishing gear. We were hooked.” The guys noticed something interesting. People were arriving at tournaments with big, expensive boats and crazy amounts of high-end equipment. “Here we are on our 16-foot Craigslist boat.

(10

We’re thinking, are we crazy? Nope. Turns out, our boat is just as capable as any of those flashy boats.” Quickly they earned a reputation as “the Lowe Boys,” pulling in wins with the best of ’em. After about a year, they decided an upgrade to something bigger was in order. The FS was performing admirably, but they wanted a slightly larger platform from which to compete. “We didn’t consider anything other than a Lowe,” says John. It took a concerted effort, since no dealership in Colorado actually sold the brand. But by working directly with Lowe and a liaison at Cabela’s in neighboring Nebraska, they were able to land their dream boat—as newly-minted members of the Lowe Pro Staff, no less. And so it was with a new Fishing Machine 185 in tow that they set out for Green Bay, Wisconsin, to compete at the NTC—a.k.a.


lo.fa14.FM185_Denver_Layout 1 11/4/14 4:38 PM Page 11

WE TOOK THAT PRIZE CHECK STRAIGHT TO THE SPORTING GOODS STORE FOR MORE FISHING GEAR.

WE WERE HOOKED. “the Super Bowl of walleye tournaments”—fishing right alongside the stars whose fishing videos had first shown them the ropes. The friends cite the FM 185’s two livewells as a crucial feature during competitions, keeping every catch alive and in good shape, lest they suffer penalty deductions at weigh-in. “You net it and literally drop it next to you,” John says. “We can both be catching and dropping at the same time.” The boat’s Deep-V hull, paired with a powerful Mercury Verado® 150-hp engine, is also a plus. “Sometimes it’s over an hour to reach our fishing spot. At speed our Lowe is a very stable boat, a smooth ride. Even in big chop, it stays dry.” Yet it’s not all about fishing. “We both have families with kids, so it’s really nice to be able to convert the FM into a ski boat,” Steve says. “The aft deck that converts from a fishing platform into seating is really versatile. We’ll take the kids out tubing and have a great time.” “Plus, it’s a gorgeous boat,” John adds. “We keep it shiny and polished to make sure it gets good exposure out there on the water.” “We get lots of compliments,” Steve agrees. “People are like, Wow, that’s a nice looking boat!” After Nationals, the pair made a detour down to Lowe Boats’ headquarters in Lebanon, Missouri, for a tour of the facility. “With my history in aerospace as a quality manager, it was really a treat to see the manufacturing process,” John says. “Their assembly line is extremely versatile, so they rely on actual craftsmanship. I mean, these guys are artisans at work.” Looking ahead, John and Steve are excited to compete in upcoming tournaments with the goal of securing an invitation to Nationals once again. They’ve been asked to speak at local fishing clubs, relaying “a year in the life of a tournament rookie.” Walleye remain their focus, but the bass circuit has also begun calling their name. With Colorado’s wealth of reservoirs and spectacular mountain views, they’re in a great spot to branch out. “It’s funny. There we were at Nationals, pre-fishing, and all these sponsored teams in their fully stickered-up boats pull up beside us,” John says. “And you know, you’re star struck—like, here’s everyone I’ve ever watched fishing on TV, and they’ve come to my fishing spot! Now that’s a compliment!” “And some days we actually out-fished them,” Steve adds with a smile. John sums it up nicely: “Ever since we got this boat, we’ve been living a charmed life.”

John Quarles and Steve Shelton quickly shot up the tournament ranks, first with a Lowe FS 165 and then an FM 185.

MEMORY MAKER ______ A LOWE SF 234 PONTOON HELPS A FUN-LOVING COUPLE SECURE CHERISHED TIME WITH THEIR GRANDCHILDREN

IT’S

THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE THAT MAKE BELINDA FLEMING THE HAPPIEST.

Things like watching her young grandson, Blayne, cannonball off the front of their pontoon. Or helping her granddaughters, Addison and Emma, roast marshmallows and smash them between graham crackers along with a slab of chocolate. The little things are somehow the most vivid, the most tangible, the quickest to tickle the funny bone.

Belinda and her husband, Billy, own a Lowe SF 234 pontoon and use it to make memories with their two adult children and three grandchildren on nearby Stockton Lake. On most weekends, the family takes their RV to a campsite at Ruark Bluff West so they can spend as much time as possible on the water and on their Lowe boat. “It’s a fishing boat and a playing boat,” Belinda says. “And it has a very nice layout because you can fish off the front or the back. That’s sweet!” The Flemings, like most residents of southwestern Missouri, know a thing or two about savoring life’s precious moments. Ever since the ruthless EF5 multiple-vortex tornado struck the town of Joplin in late May of 2011, people around here have made it a point to appreciate the present. “You have to cherish what you have,” Belinda says, “because it can be gone in a second.” And what the Flemings have, they wouldn’t trade for anything. From the comfort of their SF 234, Belinda and Billy watch their son, Beau, help four-year-old Blayne up onto a low ledge for a mini-cliff jump. With admiration for his courage mixed with a hint of grandmotherly concern, Belinda gives her young grandson— who is already an excellent swimmer—a questioning look. “Oh, it will be okay, Nana,” Blayne says. He pauses for a moment and takes the plunge. A second later he reappears in the ripples formed where his tiny body had hit the lake’s surface. Belinda and Billy clap, and Blayne’s grin widens at the applause. Belinda and Billy bought their pontoon from the fine folks at Marine Center, Inc., in Joplin. “They were really good at hooking us up with what we wanted,” Belinda says. “They were really friendly. We looked at a lot of boats, but the Lowe was just set up perfectly for what we wanted. I just kept saying, ‘Billy, I want that boat.’” The Flemings were looking to buy a craft that was suitable for watersports like skiing and tubing. “They’re a hoot when we’re out on the lake,” she says of her grandchildren. “They like to tube double.” A 115-hp ELPT Mercury‰ FourStroke provides the getup-and-go to haul the kids around Stockton and get their adrenaline flowing. Plus, Belinda says, “That thing is so quiet, you don’t even hear it at all.”

lo.fa14.SF234_Joplin_Layout 1 11/6/14 5:51 PM Page 16

With their passion for camping, the Flemings also needed something durable and maneuverable. “On a pontoon, you can boat right up to the bank,” Belinda explains. “And if you drag on the pontoon, it’s not that big of a deal. Plus, we can get right up to where the fish are.” That was the other requirement; the boat had to be set up for fishing and have accessories like an aerated livewell, a fishfinder, rod holders and storage, because as Belinda says, “That lake is the bomb. We fish for anything: walleye, bass, crappie, catfish and drum.” Belinda is pleased to be able to be making the same memories with her grandkids as she remembers of her own childhood. Her parents always had a boat, and she recalls spending long, sunsoaked days with cooling dips in the lake and plenty of fish on the line. Catch-and-release is Addison’s passion, while swimming suits Emma just fine. Stockton Lake features 300 miles of shoreline, mostly surrounded by lush foliage that provides seclusion for deer and turkey and also nesting spots for the occasional bald eagle. The lake is never crowded, but boaters tend to gather at a “party cove” that used to be an old rock quarry and is a popular cliff-jumping spot. When the Flemings, who live in Alba, Missouri, aren’t on the water, they’re usually out on the road, either trucking or biking.

( 16

Billy has been a longtime trucker for Tyson, and Belinda usually joins him on his way to Indiana, Iowa, Illinois and Minnesota. They truck as much as they can in the winter when the lake is frozen over and it’s too cold or icy to be out on their motorcycles. The Flemings are avid Harley-Davidson enthusiasts. They occasionally attend rallies, but most often they just enjoy touring the countryside. They were out on a trip in nearby Arkansas when they first heard the news about the 2011 tornado. The first thing Belinda did was get on the phone and call her kids. Daughter Kasee (Addison’s mom) was safe inside a local Walmart, but she wasn’t able to get ahold of Beau (Emma and Blayne’s father). He was enduring a harrowing experience underneath a highway overpass. The Fleming family survived the ordeal unscathed, but Belinda says returning to town was an eerie experience. “When Bill and I came back on our bikes,” she says, “we could not figure out where we were. There were no landmarks. It was something you would see in a movie.” The Flemings have always had a passion for making the most of every moment, but now they do so even more than ever. “We truck hard and we play hard,” Belinda says with a smile that proves she means it.
