Behind the Design: 2023 SF Pontoons

Category: Boating Resources
Oct 12, 2022

When the Lowe Pontoon design team set out to remake its popular SF Series of affordable fishing pontoons, they took the advice of fishing guides from Missouri area lakes who used pontoon boats for their charters. This resulted in the addition of pro features like an optional 31-gallon livewell for the bow section, which is among the biggest in the world of pontoons. For select models, twin rear access gates allow anglers to get quickly to the water to land large fish. And for models with fishing chairs up front, great care was given to leave the area in front of them unobstructed for ease of movement should hooked fish get a little crazy.

Pick Your Passion

Designers also listened to owners who wanted to be able to choose the level of “fishiness” that matched their recreation lifestyle. So, Lowe created three floorplans for its SF models that range from 19-23 feet long and reflect different points of emphasis.

 

Fish it Up!

 For those serious about the sport, the 4-Point Fishing layout gives fishing chairs in all quadrants along with fore and aft fishing stations and livewells (13-gallon aft, 31-gallon option up front). Most anglers use trolling motors for their maneuverability and stealth so Lowe includes a storage area that doubles as a rigging station with Plano box compatibility, room for twin batteries, a dedicated mount for a battery charger and a quick-connect outlet for the trolling motor.

 

The Most Popular SF Pontoon Layout is…?

“I think the Forward Walk Thru will be the SF’s most popular floorplan,” said Lowe General Manager Greg Falkner. “While the anglers are having fun in front, the rest of the boat features comfortable lounge seating and leaves the swim platform open for those who want easy access to the water.”

 

Rear Walk Thru Offers a Great Balance

With twin fishing seats in the rear along with a rigging station and livewell, the Rear Walk Thru is ideal for casual anglers or those who fish with floats or who like to chum. It’s the perfect layout for those who like to troll during sunset cruises.

 

New-Look SF Pontoons

Taking its design cues from Lowe’s sporty, luxurious SS line of pontoons, the rails for SF pontoons are all new and the upgraded furniture package features softer upholstery. More choices of colors and decals along with a new SF Blackout Package offer some attitude. A more ergonomic console station increases driver comfort.

 

Along with input from fishing guides, dealers and customers, Lowe designers have created seven 2023 SF pontoons that will allow everyone to live their best lake life.
