Matching a modified vee G3 Boats Angler V 185 FS 2005 against a tunnel G3 Boats Prop Tunnel 1966 CCT DLX 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 Angler V 185 FS 2005 at 18,0 ft versus G3 Boats Prop Tunnel 1966 CCT DLX 2011 at 18,9 ft. At 161 lbs and 116 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.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 200 hp, the G3 Boats Angler V 185 FS 2005 has a 85-hp advantage over the G3 Boats Prop Tunnel 1966 CCT DLX 2011's 115-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the G3 Boats Angler V 185 FS 2005 carries 35 gallons versus 21 gallons in the G3 Boats Prop Tunnel 1966 CCT DLX 2011. 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.
