G3 Boats 1860 SC Camo 2008 vs G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 1860CCJ DLX 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The G3 Boats 1860 SC Camo 2008 vs G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 1860CCJ DLX 2007 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 90 hp for the G3 Boats 1860 SC Camo 2008 and 90 hp for the G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 1860CCJ DLX 2007. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.

Bottom line: Choose the G3 Boats 1860 SC Camo 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 17,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 1860CCJ DLX 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
