The G3 Boats Angler V162 T 2010 vs G3 Boats Angler V19 SF 2023 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — G3 Boats Angler V162 T 2010 at 16,4 ft versus G3 Boats Angler V19 SF 2023 at 19,2 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the G3 Boats Angler V19 SF 2023 tips the scales at 1 800 lbs — 1 686 lbs less than the G3 Boats Angler V162 T 2010 at 114 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 200 hp, the G3 Boats Angler V19 SF 2023 has a 125-hp advantage over the G3 Boats Angler V162 T 2010's 75-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 V162 T 2010 carries 33 gallons versus 4 gallons in the G3 Boats Angler V19 SF 2023. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 5 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.
