Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
G3 Boats 1966 CC 2012 vs G3 Boats Prop Tunnel 1966 CCT DLX 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a flat G3 Boats 1966 CC 2012 against a tunnel G3 Boats Prop Tunnel 1966 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 1966 CC 2012 at 19,0 ft versus G3 Boats Prop Tunnel 1966 CCT DLX 2013 at 18,9 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the G3 Boats 1966 CC 2012 tips the scales at 1 085 lbs — 969 lbs more than the G3 Boats Prop Tunnel 1966 CCT DLX 2013 at 116 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 2012 and 115 hp for the G3 Boats Prop Tunnel 1966 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 Prop Tunnel 1966 CCT DLX 2013 carries 19 gallons versus 2 gallons in the G3 Boats 1966 CC 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 8 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.
Bottom line: The G3 Boats 1966 CC 2012 and G3 Boats Prop Tunnel 1966 CCT DLX 2013 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
