Lowe RV190CC 2010 vs Lowe V1672 HD 2013 — A Close Look at Two Modified Vees

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Lowe RV190CC 2010 and the Lowe V1672 HD 2013 are modified vee designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Lowe RV190CC 2010 at 18,4 ft versus Lowe V1672 HD 2013 at 16,0 ft. At 88 lbs and 4 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 115 hp, the Lowe RV190CC 2010 has a 85-hp advantage over the Lowe V1672 HD 2013'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 V1672 HD 2013 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Lowe RV190CC 2010 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lowe V1672 HD 2013 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Lowe V1672 HD 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 5 passengers and at 16,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lowe RV190CC 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Lowe RV190CC 2010 vs Lowe V1672 HD 2013 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Lowe RV190CC 2010 or the Lowe V1672 HD 2013?
The Lowe RV190CC 2010 is the longer of the two at 18,4 feet overall. The Lowe V1672 HD 2013 comes in at 16,0 feet, making it roughly 2,4 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Lowe RV190CC 2010 or the Lowe V1672 HD 2013?
For trailering, the Lowe V1672 HD 2013 has the edge at 4 lbs dry weight versus 88 lbs for the Lowe RV190CC 2010. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Lowe RV190CC 2010 is rated to a maximum of 115 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Lowe V1672 HD 2013 tops out at 30 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Lowe RV190CC 2010 is Coast Guard rated for 4 passengers, while the Lowe V1672 HD 2013 is certified for 5. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Lowe RV190CC 2010 measures 86" wide, compared to 72" for the Lowe V1672 HD 2013. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Are the Lowe RV190CC 2010 and Lowe V1672 HD 2013 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Lowe RV190CC 2010 and the Lowe V1672 HD 2013 are built by Lowe. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
