LOWE HERITAGE

OVER 50 YEARS OF PURE AMERICAN CRAFTSMANSHIP

Lowe has been building top-quality boats since 1971 – however, the family heritage in aluminum watercraft goes back much further. Dianna Lowe, co-founder of Lowe Industries, was the daughter of J.B. Appleby, considered by many to be the father of aluminum boating. Dianna and her husband Carl Lowe founded Lowe Line in 1971 in Lebanon, Missouri - building jon boats and canoes.

Lowe Heritage

J.B. Appleby and his son-in-law, Carl Lowe, were in the boat building business together for nearly a decade before Carl started his own company.

The surrounding area is lush with greenery, indicating that they are likely in a natural, possibly remote location. The image captures an outdoor recreational activity, highlighting the enjoyment of nature and adventure.
