If your requirements lean to the hard-core equipment side, Lowe’s totally redesigned 2009 Roughneck Jons are your ticket. These revolutionary new boats are the toughest, hardest working Jons available. Maximum strength and durability is ensured with SuperLock™ All-Welded, 5052 H-34 all-aluminum, bonded PowerGrid™ substructures with rugged TufDeck® aluminum alloy decks and floors all topped with an optional super-tuff Gator-Skin™ sprayed-in interior coatings. Maximum performance is ensured with our proprietary VorTrac™ 3 ½ degree V hulls designed for the ultimate combination of at-rest stability and dry, smooth running capability in skinny water. Massive bow storage boxes, a bilge pump, pedestal seat bases and running lights are all standard. Select models feature a rod/gun locker and an extra-large 43” aerated livewell. All models come standard in olive drab paint. Optional colors include Sterling for a dressier finish and hand-applied camo for hunting; including Mossy Oak Shadow Grass and Mossy Oak Break-Up patterns.
Finally, a Jon boat that doesn’t need any additional assembly to meet your serious duck hunting and angling requirements. All Roughneck models share the same construction technology. However, to match your specific requirements, Roughnecks are available in Tiller, Side Console, Center Console and Tunnel Hull Center Console configurations. Pick your precise angling and hunting tool – 14 to 19 feet.
Lowe surveyed hunters and anglers nationwide to determine the specific features dedicated sportsmen demand. As a result, most of the requested features like massive bow storage boxes and livewells, a bilge pump, built-in pedestal seat bases and running lights that are now standard in ’09 Roughnecks - simply aren’t found in competitive jon boats.
Traditional Jon boats compromise ride, performance and strength with a totally flat bottom. Roughneck’s proprietary VorTrac™ 3 ½ degree V hull delivers the ideal combination of a shallow draft together with superior performance - all while ensuring one of the strongest hull structures available. The propriety VorTrac™ running surface features a unique V design that tapers at 3 ½ degrees from the center keel to the wide, flat side chines. The extruded center keel and formed in running strakes add torsional strength and stability, improve tracking, cornering and planing all while generating less spray.

Like the skid-resistant bedliner in a pickup, super-tuff Gator-Skin™ is weather and impact resistant. Its unique sprayed-in Polyurea® coating seals the interior and acts like an insulator to dampen vibration for a quieter ride while moderating extreme hot and cold temperatures to the touch. In addition, it resists water penetration and corrosion while making clean-up a breeze.

Bullet-Proof Jon Boat Construction
SuperLock™ is a fully integrated design and construction technology that ensures that every component from gunnels to hull bottom are bonded together in one cohesive unit. CAD technology ensures that Roughnecks are precision built to exacting standards. Hulls, transoms, bulkheads, decks, stringers, ribs and gunnels are assembled as a truly locked-together, bonded system. Aluminum decks and floors with no wood provide a lighter weight, highly durable boat.

Bonded For Life with PowerGrid™

Most Jon boats are built the same way they were 40 years ago. While that may be OK for the casual angler or hunter, Roughnecks are designed to meet the requirements of the serious sportsman. They feature a massive internal grid of longitudinal stringers running from bow to stern combined with transverse ribs placed on 10" centers with sprayed foam tying the entire assembly together in a fully bonded unit.

Roughnecks are built to take a pounding, so we use H-34 marine aluminum for its high tensile strength and flexibility. It’s one of the toughest, most durable sheets in the industry.
