Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
G3 Boats 1966 CC 2010 vs G3 Boats LX 22 DLX 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee G3 Boats 1966 CC 2010 against a pontoon G3 Boats LX 22 DLX 2008 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 1966 CC 2010 at 19,0 ft versus G3 Boats LX 22 DLX 2008 at 22,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the G3 Boats 1966 CC 2010 tips the scales at 1 085 lbs — 871 lbs more than the G3 Boats LX 22 DLX 2008 at 214 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 115 hp for the G3 Boats 1966 CC 2010 and 115 hp for the G3 Boats LX 22 DLX 2008. 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. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 2 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 LX 22 DLX 2008 is rated for 12 passengers, while the G3 Boats 1966 CC 2010 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the G3 Boats LX 22 DLX 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the G3 Boats LX 22 DLX 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The G3 Boats 1966 CC 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
