Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 1966CC DLX 2006 vs G3 Boats Prop Tunnel 1966 CCT DLX 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 1966CC DLX 2006 vs G3 Boats Prop Tunnel 1966 CCT DLX 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 1966CC DLX 2006 at 18,0 ft versus G3 Boats Prop Tunnel 1966 CCT DLX 2013 at 18,9 ft. At 107 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 115 hp for the G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 1966CC DLX 2006 and 115 hp for the G3 Boats Prop Tunnel 1966 CCT DLX 2013. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 21 gal and 19 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
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.
Bottom line: The G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 1966CC DLX 2006 and G3 Boats Prop Tunnel 1966 CCT DLX 2013 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
