Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Lowe RV160CC 2011 vs Lowe TH192 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Lowe RV160CC 2011 vs Lowe TH192 2005 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 RV160CC 2011 at 16,0 ft versus Lowe TH192 2005 at 19,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lowe TH192 2005 tips the scales at 1 985 lbs — 1 281 lbs less than the Lowe RV160CC 2011 at 704 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 TH192 2005 has a 100-hp advantage over the Lowe RV160CC 2011's 50-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 RV160CC 2011 is rated for 4 passengers, while the Lowe TH192 2005 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lowe RV160CC 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Lowe RV160CC 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 4 passengers and at 16,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lowe TH192 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
