Production are times back to 7-9 weeks for standard rigs and 10-12 weeks for custom rigs, so now is the time to make your design decisions and book your new custom rig before the summer rush.  Don't need your rig that soon, book it now and you can name your delivery date and lock in your build spot. 

We have some new boat offerings for Big Water hunting and have expanded our Prowler Line to include a 44" bottom

Prowler Extreme sneak boat!  This

boat is available in 15-18 length, is

22" deep and can handle up to a 36hp

surface drive or 40hp outboard!

With our increased orders we remind potential customers to call early and book your orders early for set delivery.  We have adding new welding and support positions but we will not "speed things up" at the expense of quality, so book your orders soon.   We almost past the early season cut off for new boat orders, but still have time to get complete rigs finished before late October/

November openers.

With the increase orders for new Phowler Boats and Blinds continue to take in a nice selection of used rigs that need to go fast, check them out and give us a call if you see something you like.

We are currently stocking PD motors, Copperhead Motors and Suzuki Motors - Including the new Copperhead with clutch option and will try to keep motors in stock through the hunting season.

Here at Illowa Marine we are fully stocked with used trade in rigs that need to go to make room for fall trades.  Check out some of the great deals on our Pre-Owned Page.

Still thinking about a new Rig for fall, don't wait, we are stacked up with new custom boat/blind and motor orders, but we still can get you into a new rig before the regular season.  Call today and let us help you design you new rig!
