 Fowler boats
Alright anyone running one of these boats from what I understand they are made by the same guys who are making beavertails boats. I could not find a ton of info on them.

 Re: Fowler boats
You mean Phowler? That could be why you can't find them. Never heard anything bout them building hulls for BT, but its possible.

 Re: Fowler boats
No I know about Phowler boats I live In Iowa. I am only about an hour and a half from them. This is Fowler boats. I found a little bit of info on midwest outboards website, but couldn't find a website or much else.

 Re: Fowler boats
They were Excel knock-offs, If I remember correctly, Harold owner of Midwest outboard had the same shop that makes the Beavertail boats make the fowlers. With lesser weight they ran good, I do know one guy that runs one and likes it, runs low 30's with a stock motor and dual carbs. I believe the boat had .080 sides and .100 bottom. unfortunate, you can't get them anymore, in fact I'm not sure if Midwest Outboard is still in business? Pm Perch44, he would know for sure.....

 Re: Fowler boats
I bought a 08 Fowler 1754 a couple years ago that was used and have been very happy with it. Cant find much info on them but tag in boat says Blue Rock Manufacturing (MN). I believe they made these boats for a couple years just for MId-West Marine??? Its very well made boat but i am sure they dont make them anymore. Came with a really nice custom aluminum trailer also by Blue Rock.

 Re: Fowler boats
Try taking a look at larrysillowamarine.com. They build the boats there. The pricing is on the site. They also make some very nice boat blinds. IMO anyway. I don't own one, but have hunted out of one a couple times and it was a nice set up for sure.
