Matching a deep vee G3 Boats Angler V185 FS 2010 against a flat G3 Boats Outfitter 1652 WOF 2012 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 V185 FS 2010 at 18,4 ft versus G3 Boats Outfitter 1652 WOF 2012 at 15,8 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the G3 Boats Angler V185 FS 2010 tips the scales at 172 lbs — 120 lbs more than the G3 Boats Outfitter 1652 WOF 2012 at 52 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 V185 FS 2010 has a 150-hp advantage over the G3 Boats Outfitter 1652 WOF 2012's 50-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 V185 FS 2010 carries 35 gallons versus 7 gallons in the G3 Boats Outfitter 1652 WOF 2012. 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 Angler V185 FS 2010 could be the deciding factor.
