Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
G3 Boats 1966 CCT DLX 2009 vs G3 Boats LX 22 FC 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee G3 Boats 1966 CCT DLX 2009 against a pontoon G3 Boats LX 22 FC 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The G3 Boats LX 22 FC 2008 measures 22,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 4,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the G3 Boats 1966 CCT DLX 2009 at 18,0 feet (2009). At 116 lbs and 204 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 — 115 hp for the G3 Boats 1966 CCT DLX 2009 and 115 hp for the G3 Boats LX 22 FC 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 — 21 gal and 23 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 FC 2008 is rated for 12 passengers, while the G3 Boats 1966 CCT DLX 2009 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 FC 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the G3 Boats LX 22 FC 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 CCT DLX 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
