Lowe 1648 Aura Alternatives

[coloradowalt]

I’ve been looking at the Lowe 1648 Aura. I like the layout and floor. Really like the weight which reduces the HP requirement (max 30 HP). Downside is it’s riveted.

Use would be for freshwater fishing, duck and marsh hen hunting. Live in NE Fla.

So two questions:

1. Anyone have experience with Lowe’s riveted boats?

2. What lightweight welded 16 ft with similar floor plan would you recommend?

Welcome to tinboats.
Nothing wrong with riveted boats. As to your questions I can't help.
