The noted designer Jim Taylor produced the designs for the entire line of Precision boats, as well as many others. An early sales brochure quotes Mr Taylor as saying:

  • "The Precision 165 is intended to provide the most performance and fun possible within her builder's mandate for a low trailer weight and an especially reasonable price. This cannot be done with smoke and mirrors, so it must be done by focusing exceptionally hard on developing her most vital "fun features" while trimming away anything not truly essential"

The P 165 Specifications from a Precision publication include the following physical dimensions:

LOA: 16 ft. 5 in. LWL: 15 ft. 3 in. Beam: 7 ft. 2 in. Draft: 1 ft. 9 in.
