Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
G3 Boats 2072 CC DLX 2010 vs G3 Boats Angler V172 C 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee G3 Boats 2072 CC DLX 2010 against a deep vee G3 Boats Angler V172 C 2011 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 2072 CC DLX 2010 at 19,8 ft versus G3 Boats Angler V172 C 2011 at 17,2 ft. At 14 lbs and 14 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 2072 CC DLX 2010 and 115 hp for the G3 Boats Angler V172 C 2011. 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 Angler V172 C 2011 carries 33 gallons versus 26 gallons in the G3 Boats 2072 CC DLX 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the G3 Boats 2072 CC DLX 2010 could be the deciding factor.

The G3 Boats Angler V172 C 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
