Matching a modified vee G3 Boats 1860 WOF 2009 against a deep vee G3 Boats Advantage V210 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 Advantage V210 2010 measures 20,8 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 3,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the G3 Boats 1860 WOF 2009 at 17,0 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the G3 Boats Advantage V210 2010 tips the scales at 172 lbs — 104 lbs less than the G3 Boats 1860 WOF 2009 at 68 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 250 hp, the G3 Boats Advantage V210 2010 has a 190-hp advantage over the G3 Boats 1860 WOF 2009's 60-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

The G3 Boats 1860 WOF 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
