Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
G3 Boats Angler V175 FS 2010 vs G3 Boats Elite 326SS 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee G3 Boats Angler V175 FS 2010 against a pontoon G3 Boats Elite 326SS 2013 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The G3 Boats Elite 326SS 2013 measures 26,4 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 9,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the G3 Boats Angler V175 FS 2010 at 17,4 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the G3 Boats Elite 326SS 2013 tips the scales at 334 lbs — 166 lbs less than the G3 Boats Angler V175 FS 2010 at 168 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 250 hp, the G3 Boats Elite 326SS 2013 has a 100-hp advantage over the G3 Boats Angler V175 FS 2010's 150-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 35 gal and 38 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The G3 Boats Elite 326SS 2013 is rated for 15 passengers, while the G3 Boats Angler V175 FS 2010 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the G3 Boats Elite 326SS 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the G3 Boats Elite 326SS 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 15 passengers and at 26,4 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The G3 Boats Angler V175 FS 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
