Matching a flat G3 Boats 1966 SC 2013 against a modified vee G3 Boats Angler V 165 F 2005 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 SC 2013 at 19,0 ft versus G3 Boats Angler V 165 F 2005 at 16,0 ft. At 106 lbs and 13 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.
