Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Lowe A1467WT 2011 vs Lowe SF232 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Lowe A1467WT 2011 against a pontoon Lowe SF232 2013 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Lowe SF232 2013 measures 22,0 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 8,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lowe A1467WT 2011 at 13,9 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lowe SF232 2013 tips the scales at 2 136 lbs — 1 759 lbs less than the Lowe A1467WT 2011 at 377 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 150 hp, the Lowe SF232 2013 has a 125-hp advantage over the Lowe A1467WT 2011's 25-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 SF232 2013 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Lowe A1467WT 2011 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lowe SF232 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Lowe SF232 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lowe A1467WT 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
