The 2026 Lowe Roughneck 1860 Tunnel Jet is an 18-foot aluminum runabout designed for shallow-water performance in rivers and estuaries. Its tunnel hull, raised transom, and jet outboard configuration enable access to water where conventional boats cannot operate. The all-welded, .100-gauge aluminum construction provides durability and impact resistance throughout the hull.
The boat accommodates five people across a weight-forward center console layout that balances running characteristics and control. Forward seating includes a cushioned seat ahead of the console for visibility. Storage consists of lockable bow compartments suitable for gear and tackle, while a 23-gallon livewell and port-side rod holder serve fishing applications. The fuel tank holds 19 gallons.
Power comes from a single 80 hp Mercury jet outboard, suited to the boat's shallow-draft design. An aluminum trailer is available as an option.
