Matching a deep vee G3 Boats Angler V185 FS 2010 against a tunnel G3 Boats Prop Tunnel 1966 CCT DLX 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 Prop Tunnel 1966 CCT DLX 2012 at 18,9 ft. At 172 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 V185 FS 2010 has a 85-hp advantage over the G3 Boats Prop Tunnel 1966 CCT DLX 2012'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 V185 FS 2010 carries 35 gallons versus 21 gallons in the G3 Boats Prop Tunnel 1966 CCT DLX 2012. 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.
