The Fisher 160 Pro Avenger SC 2005 vs Fisher V1667 Riveted Deep V 2007 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Fisher 160 Pro Avenger SC 2005 at 16,0 ft versus Fisher V1667 Riveted Deep V 2007 at 16,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Fisher V1667 Riveted Deep V 2007 tips the scales at 315 lbs — 210 lbs less than the Fisher 160 Pro Avenger SC 2005 at 105 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 60 hp for the Fisher 160 Pro Avenger SC 2005 and 40 hp for the Fisher V1667 Riveted Deep V 2007. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.

Both boats are rated for 5 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Fisher 160 Pro Avenger SC 2005 comes in at 2 lbs per hp versus 8 lbs per hp for the Fisher V1667 Riveted Deep V 2007. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration — meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.
