Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Lowe AN165DC Angler 2007 vs Lowe ST195 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Lowe AN165DC Angler 2007 vs Lowe ST195 2011 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 AN165DC Angler 2007 at 16,0 ft versus Lowe ST195 2011 at 18,7 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lowe AN165DC Angler 2007 tips the scales at 903 lbs — 797 lbs more than the Lowe ST195 2011 at 106 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 115 hp, the Lowe ST195 2011 has a 40-hp advantage over the Lowe AN165DC Angler 2007's 75-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 AN165DC Angler 2007 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Lowe ST195 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 AN165DC Angler 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Lowe AN165DC 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 ST195 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.
