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.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The G3 Boats 2072 CC DLX 2010 is rated for 8 passengers, while the G3 Boats Angler V172 C 2011 caps at 5. 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.

Bottom line: Choose the G3 Boats 2072 CC DLX 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 19,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. 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.
