Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 1966CC DLX 2007 vs G3 Boats V22C 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 1966CC DLX 2007 vs G3 Boats V22C 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 V22C 2013 measures 22,5 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 4,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 1966CC DLX 2007 at 18,0 feet (2007). At 107 lbs and 21 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 2007 and 115 hp for the G3 Boats V22C 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. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the G3 Boats V22C 2013 carries 27 gallons versus 21 gallons in the G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 1966CC 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 V22C 2013 is rated for 11 passengers, while the G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 1966CC DLX 2007 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the G3 Boats V22C 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the G3 Boats V22C 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 - 1966CC DLX 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
