Matching a flat G3 Boats 1860 SC 2013 against a tunnel G3 Boats Prop Tunnel 1860 CCT DLX 2013 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — G3 Boats 1860 SC 2013 at 18,1 ft versus G3 Boats Prop Tunnel 1860 CCT DLX 2013 at 18,1 ft. At 86 lbs and 89 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 90 hp for the G3 Boats 1860 SC 2013 and 90 hp for the G3 Boats Prop Tunnel 1860 CCT DLX 2013. 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. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the G3 Boats 1860 SC 2013 carries 19 gallons versus 9 gallons in the G3 Boats Prop Tunnel 1860 CCT DLX 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 6 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
