Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 2072CC DLX 2007 vs G3 Boats V20C 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 2072CC DLX 2007 vs G3 Boats V20C 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 Deluxe Jon - 2072CC DLX 2007 measures 19,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 17,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the G3 Boats V20C 2013 at 2,0 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 2072CC DLX 2007 tips the scales at 218 lbs — 200 lbs more than the G3 Boats V20C 2013 at 18 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 Deluxe Jon - 2072CC DLX 2007 has a 25-hp advantage over the G3 Boats V20C 2013's 90-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 26 gal and 27 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The G3 Boats V20C 2013 is rated for 11 passengers, while the G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 2072CC 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 V20C 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the G3 Boats V20C 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The G3 Boats Deluxe Jon - 2072CC 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.
