The Lowe 1467 Sea Nymph 2007 vs Lowe AN165T Angler 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 — Lowe 1467 Sea Nymph 2007 at 13,0 ft versus Lowe AN165T Angler 2007 at 16,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lowe AN165T Angler 2007 tips the scales at 903 lbs — 659 lbs less than the Lowe 1467 Sea Nymph 2007 at 244 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 75 hp, the Lowe AN165T Angler 2007 has a 45-hp advantage over the Lowe 1467 Sea Nymph 2007's 30-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lowe AN165T Angler 2007 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Lowe 1467 Sea Nymph 2007 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lowe AN165T Angler 2007 could be the deciding factor.
At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Lowe 1467 Sea Nymph 2007 comes in at 8 lbs per hp versus 12 lbs per hp for the Lowe AN165T Angler 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.
Bottom line: Choose the Lowe AN165T Angler 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 16,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lowe 1467 Sea Nymph 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
