Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 1756CC DLX 2007 vs G3 Boats X22DLX 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 1756CC DLX 2007 vs G3 Boats X22DLX 2013 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The G3 Boats X22DLX 2013 measures 22,5 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 6,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 1756CC DLX 2007 at 16,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 1756CC DLX 2007 tips the scales at 725 lbs — 509 lbs more than the G3 Boats X22DLX 2013 at 216 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 115 hp, the G3 Boats X22DLX 2013 has a 45-hp advantage over the G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 1756CC DLX 2007's 70-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 X22DLX 2013 carries 37 gallons versus 21 gallons in the G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 1756CC DLX 2007. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The G3 Boats X22DLX 2013 is rated for 11 passengers, while the G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 1756CC DLX 2007 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the G3 Boats X22DLX 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the G3 Boats X22DLX 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 22,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 1756CC DLX 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
