Matching a modified vee G3 Boats 1652 WOF 2010 against a pontoon G3 Boats LX3 20 C 2010 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 G3 Boats 1652 WOF 2010 measures 15,8 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 13,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the G3 Boats LX3 20 C 2010 at 2,0 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the G3 Boats LX3 20 C 2010 tips the scales at 258 lbs — 206 lbs less than the G3 Boats 1652 WOF 2010 at 52 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 G3 Boats LX3 20 C 2010 has a 100-hp advantage over the G3 Boats 1652 WOF 2010's 50-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 6 gal and 3 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The G3 Boats LX3 20 C 2010 is rated for 11 passengers, while the G3 Boats 1652 WOF 2010 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the G3 Boats LX3 20 C 2010 could be the deciding factor.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The G3 Boats 1652 WOF 2010 comes in at 1 lbs per hp versus 2 lbs per hp for the G3 Boats LX3 20 C 2010. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration — meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.
